This classically made pasta with carbonara sauce is everything this unspeakably rich, creamy dish should be and more—and yet, it's surprisingly simple to make.

This spicy, smoky, cheesy mac and cheese gets great meaty flavor from the chorizo sausage – and a crunchy, slightly sweet cornflake crumb topping.

Is it a soup or a stew? Call it what you will, you’re going to want to keep this recipe in your “favorites” file and bring it out on cold winter nights, when watching the game with a crowd…and on busy weeknights, too. Freeze leftovers in portion size containers for microwave friendly lunches.

This rich soup makes a hearty and satisfying main course; accompany it with a crisp green salad and a loaf of crusty bread.

Hearty, nutty and healthy faro thrives when paired with these classic Italian ingredients. Make a double batch—this dish is wonderful on day 2 and 3!

Who can resist the combination of refried beans, chicken, cheese, avocado, salsa verde and refried beans on corn tortillas? Leftover chicken makes short work of this family-friendly crowd-pleaser.

Make this crowd-pleaser as spicy—or not—as you like by controlling the amount of chipotle powder, and by using salsa that is as mild or fiery as you like.

Nutty barley makes a great cold-weather stand in for Arborio rice in this risotto-like dish. This dish is great for gatherings, and re-heats well.

Chicken Parmesan doesn’t need to be complicated. This easy version takes just minutes, has only 180 calories and tastes great.
