With minimal preparation, you can have an intensely smoky, fruity, fiery salsa on the table to heat up any taco night (or anything else you want spicier, really).

A purely vegetarian rice bowl with a lot of different textures and flavors.

This is my favorite salsa, hands down, and that's coming from someone who loves salsa. Smoky, spicy, sweet, bright, and complex, this is the one salsa to rule them all. The fact that it only has four real ingredients, you can make it in 20 minutes, and it requires pretty much no knife work or clean up is just the icing on the cake (or the salsa on the taco, maybe).

Tender chicken thighs marinated with soy sauce, lime juice, and plenty of spices cook up quickly under the heat of a broiler.

A classic Bolognese lasagna is different from the version most common in the United States. Instead of thick layers of ricotta and mozzarella cheese, lasagne alla bolognese features delicate layers of fresh pasta (spinach is traditional, but plain fresh egg pasta works fine, or even dried in a pinch) coated in a luxurious mix of hearty ragù bolognese (slow-cooked meat sauce) and creamy béchamel (white sauce). It's one of the world's great baked pastas.

Turning a classic mushroom risotto into a mushroom and asparagus risotto is as easy as it sounds: just add asparagus. The only key is to add that asparagus right at the end for the best flavor and texture.

For those of you keeping score at home (I know you're out there), yes, this is the third recipe for kung pao chicken that I've published here on Serious Eats in the last seven years. The first version was funky and fiery with fermented chili bean paste, chicken thighs, and leeks. The second version was a decidedly milder version made with bell peppers and celery, just like at those Upper West Side Chinese takeout joints. The version I'm sharing today is based upon the kung pao chicken I tasted at the source in Chengdu: a simpler yet more nuanced version than either, and a near-perfect weeknight dish.

Tortilla española, one of Spain's most famous and beloved national dishes, is nothing more than egg, potato, and onion cooked in olive oil. And yet, when attention is paid to the technique, it's one of the most profoundly delicious dishes imaginable. Here's how to make it.

Delicious drop biscuits—quick and easy to make—are stuffed with scrambled eggs loaded with melted mozzarella cheese, a touch of feta, and plenty of fresh dill. On the surface, this may seem like a lot of work just for breakfast, but it actually couldn't be easier to prepare.

Delicate, uber-fluffy angel food cake is one of the easiest recipes I know: Just throw some cold egg whites and sugar into a bowl, whip 'em up, and stop before they're stiff. After that, it's simply a matter of stirring cake flour into the glossy meringue and baking the whole thing off. With this approach, you and the egg white proteins stay relaxed, making collapsed cakes and angel food anxiety a thing of the past.

This recipe is about as close as you can get to wood-burning oven-style Neapolitan pizza without having to void the warranty of your oven. The Antimo Caputo Tipo "00" Italian bread flour called for helps improve the texture, but is...

Rillettes are an entertainer's godsend. They're cheap, they're delicious, and they sound fancy. Your guests will think you worked hard on it. You didn't.

Swedish meatballs, stars of 1960s-era cocktail parties and IKEA shopping trips, are, on the surface, pretty simple: a mix of pork and beef that's lightly spiced and served with a rich gravy. Getting them just right, though, requires some fine-tuned tinkering. Here's our ultimate version, as good on a plate with buttery potatoes and lingonberry jam as speared on a toothpick.

Don’t get us wrong. Grandma’s baked butternut squash—doused in butter, sprinkled with brown sugar—is great. But there are all sorts of winter squashes on offer at the market these days and no end to the fun things you can do with them. Among our favorites: kabocha, a generic term for several Japanese varieties characterized by their squat shape and sweet, rich, yellow flesh. Best of all, kabochas’ deep-green skin softens nicely as it cooks, meaning you can often skip the pesky peeling step. Here, we rest the kabocha in salt and sugar, then confit it in clarified butter to create an almost fudgelike texture. Smooth, but not too smooth, the squash should push back a little as you bite into it. We give it a hit of lemon juice for brightness and then garnish with toasted hazelnuts, chives, and a flurry of ricotta salata before serving. Feel free to sub in other squashes such as butternut (you know, if Grandma’s coming over), but in that case you’ll need to peel the skin off before you cook. Got leftover hazelnuts? You can always use them in our sexy Microwaved Radicchio Salad.

Buffalo wings are pure, unadulterated, crispy, greasy, hot & vinegary nuggets of awesome. So given that we're going to be eating so many of the suckers, isn't it our national duty—our duty to the birds, even—to make each and every one the best it can possible be? To not—pardon the terrible pun (and all the terrible puns to follow)—simply wing it? I've had my share of greasy, dry, flaccid, burnt, tough, gristly chicken wings. My only goal today is to figure out how to get the best out of each and every drumette and flat, to create a Super Bowl snack worthy of its American heritage. A bird we could really flip for.
