Livened up with hot sausage under a golden cheese topping, this dish makes a zesty winter warm-up.
A little chicken (less than a pound) goes a long way in this rich, creamy dish. We love whole wheat spaghetti with the rustic mushroom-infused sauce, but any long pasta, such as bucatini, spagettini or linguine, can be a delicious partner. Feel free to improvise with whatever type is waiting in your pantry.
This twist on an old favourite brings new life to a simple Caesar salad. Using mayonnaise instead of a raw egg makes an easy instant dressing.
The creamy, salty dressing makes every bite of this salad feel indulgent. If you want to make this dish ahead of time, store the lettuce and dressing in separate containers and dress the salad at the last minute so the lettuce doesn't get soggy.
Fresh sheets of lasagna, available in the deli section of most grocery stores, make quick work of this tasty and ooey, gooey lasagna that is simple enough for a weeknight meal, or hearty and satisfying enough for a weekend get-together. Use your favourite canned or bottled tomato sauce for added convenience. But for best results, homemade tomato sauce takes this lasagna to the next level.
Get a double dose of pork with these ultraflavourful stuffed chops. For best results, use day-old bread cut into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes. Serve with mixed greens or grilled vegetables.
The tighter and more compact the artichoke, the fresher it is. To eat the cooked artichoke, pull off each leaf, dip it in butter and pull between your teeth to release the tender bottom bit, then discard the tough leaf. Once leaves are removed, cut up the base, or heart, which is known as the jewel in the crown.
