No images? Click here Pasta With Beans and Greens Pantry and budget-friendly meals are always good to have in your cooking repertoire. This recipe, which features humble ingredients but standout flavor, is a great example. Beans and greens are a classic pairing in Italian peasant cuisine (as well as in many other cuisines from around the world), known as cucina povera ("poor cuisine"). Brothy cooked-from-dried beans and wilted hearty greens like Tuscan kale or chard, which can last for a long time in the fridge, together create dishes that are simple, quick, filling, and healthy. They can be served as a soup or stew, cooked down to a drier consistency to use as a topping for crusty grilled bread, or, in this case, combined with starchy pasta cooking water for a creamy, noodle-coating sauce. The kitchen essential Straight-Sided Skillet For this recipe, you'll need a straight-sided skillet for building your sauce. Start with aromatics, then the beans, then the greens, and finally the pasta. More recipes for all those beans! |

And consider all the things it goes well with: chickpeas, cauliflower, yogurt, tomatoes, chicken, and good-for-you whole foods that taste good, too.

Four-ingredient 'nduja mac and cheese
No images? Click here Easy Stovetop 'Nduja Mac and Cheese It's hard to improve on the beautiful simplicity of Kenji's three-ingredient stovetop macaroni and cheese, known in some circles as the "six-six-six mac," but if there's one ingredient that can easily meld into the mac mix, it's our favorite Calabrian sausage, 'nduja. 'Nduja's high fat content allows it to quickly and easily emulsify into a creamy sauce with the evaporated milk and melty cheese in this four-ingredient recipe (well, technically six ingredients if you want to be like that, counting water to cook the pasta and a tiny pinch of salt to season it). All of the ingredients, including the 'nduja, have long shelf lives, making this a pantry-friendly comfort food recipe for these uncertain times. More uses for that evaporated milk |
