Easy Skillet Lasagna
Those days when meal planning goes south and weeknight weariness looms, simple salvation can be found in this easy skillet lasagna made with store-bought ravioli.

Marcel Proust had his madeleine. David Leite has his Portuguese salt cod, potato, and egg casserole.
Old-Fashioned Minestrone Soup
An updated Italian classic made with all the usual suspects along with an unexpected drizzle of pesto that turns a frugal veggie-bin catch-all into something truly astounding.
Blue Cheese, Sausage, and Walnut Pasta
