Brodo di pollo is, in essence, Italian chicken soup. And it's a strong contender for the most soothing chicken noodle soup anywhere. Made by nonnas everywhere.

Pricey but not pretentious, a standing rib roast is essentially a slab of bone-in rib eye steaks standing on end. You could do worse, eh?

Remember the good old days when "bone broth" was simply called "beef stock"? Sigh. Whatever you call it, it's still simple to make. And still spectacular to taste.

It's Ottolenghi. Enough said. (Well, okay, we have to say more. Like how everyone who’s tried this swears it’ll forevermore be their simple supper standby.)

Ballpark style sausages without going to the ballpark. We dare say we like this approach even better when demolished from the comfort of our own couch.

An Italian tradition that, in true form, transforms simple ingredients into something sublime.

Ottolenghi does it yet again with another inspired melding of ingredients and techniques that upends our notion of what any recipe should and could be.

Make veggies less yawn-inducing by stealthily sneaking them into this good-for-you grilled cheese sammie. Eating your veggies never tasted so sinful.

Though the taste behind this single-pan supper is revelatory, the approach to getting there couldn’t be simpler.

The much-ballyhooed Italian Christmas classic, Feast of the Seven Fishes, stars one fish in Domenica Marchetti's home. Calamari. And it's the centerpiece of her Christmas Eve dinner.

A French classic that’s been tweaked and streamlined for contemporary times so it comes together with just enough richness and ease. Completely doable, even for a novice home cook.

Plonk this brown sugar glazed ham on your holiday table, step back, and listen to the gasped oohs and aahs, accept all manner of accolades, and watch it disappear.

The trickiest part of making this recipe? Not drifting into a reverie at the mere thought of these subtly sweet chops.

Infused with smoke as it cooks low and slow, this compelling centerpiece is, quite simply, the best and most unique prime rib we've ever tried. And worth standing at the smoker even during the dead of winter.

Tanya Holland gives us Southern comfort food with Big Easy flair. That’s what we think of these perfectly spiced shrimp swimming in a slightly spicy sauce with ample cheesy grits to soak it all up.

An easy toss-it-in-the-oven-and-forget-about-it sorta dish that’s still gonna make everyone ooh and aah at the dinner table for its tender, wine-imbued spectacularness.

Comforting. Satiating. Easy. Authentic. One-pot. And adaptable for the slow cooker, pressure cooker, or stovetop. You're welcome.

An exceptionally tender roast and crisp-as-can-be roasted potatoes that will make any meal memorable beyond words.

Spectacularly stunning—and unbelievably easy—handmade pasta that takes its lovely color and subtle flavor from sweetly savory pumpkin or other winter squash.

Rustic in appearance, homey in taste, and easy in the way it comes together, this comfort food classic is exactly what you've been craving.
