This simple, one-pot soup delivers all the comfort of a classic lasagna with very little of the work A jar of marinara sauce is its secret to speedy flavor, along with a combination of ground beef and Italian sausage (though for ease, you can use one or the other), plus a pinch of ground nutmeg Dried lasagna noodles are broken into small pieces and cooked directly in the soup, thickening the broth with their starches as they soften

It may strike you as curious, but adding an entire orange to this easy snacking cake, rind and all, imparts a wonderful flavor reminiscent of orange marmalade, pleasantly bitter and sweet A high-speed blender is the best way to process the orange, but a food processor works too You want the purée to be as smooth as possible

Adding a package of prepared potato gnocchi to a pot of braised greens turns a side dish into a vibrant one-pot meal fit for weeknights The chard stems, leeks and peas are nubby and colorful next to the pillowy gnocchi, while a combination of butter and white wine makes the sauce rich and tangy For extra creaminess, serve this with dollops of fresh ricotta stirred in at the last minute

Rigatoni alla zozzona combines the ingredients of the four pasta dishes for which Romans are famous: amatriciana, cacio e pepe, carbonara and gricia While many Italian meals are typically the result of simple flavors — “neat” preparations where only a few ingredients shine — rigatoni alla zozzona (which loosely translates to a big mess) is more of a kitchen sink approach, marrying the ingredients of the four pastas (tomato sauce, black pepper, egg yolks, cheese and guanciale) with sausage Rigatoni’s sturdy tube shape provides the perfect vehicle to carry — and stand up to — the many components of the sauce.

Store-bought cheese tortellini make this easy vegetarian soup a breeze to put together at home The stuffed pasta cooks in minutes and floats in a creamy, tomato-y broth that’s loaded with vegetables A splash of vinegar enhances the tomato flavor and provides a bit more acidity, and chopped herbs, added at the end, offer some freshness

This noodle soup is a grown-up riff on an old college favorite: Taiwanese instant ramen The scent of the simmering, chicken-and-ginger broth conjures vivid memories of late-night instant-noodle snacks This version has all of the good qualities of the store-bought kind, but it’s richer in flavor thanks to the bone-in chicken breast (bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs would work too)
