"I made lasagna with regular pasta instead of the usual lasagna sheets. It turned out amazing, less greasy, and more flavorful. (I used fusilli, but most pasta will work.) You just assemble everything and toss it into the oven. Honestly, pasta lasagna is now my favorite lasagna. You should try it!" —HelenMV

"Ina Garten’s summer pasta! It's so simple. You marinate cherry tomatoes in olive oil for a few hours, cook and drain angel hair pasta, then mix in the olive oil, tomatoes, fresh Parm, and seasoning. It's pretty much the easiest thing ever — and it's always a massive hit." —Ca1Ta

10. Alsace Onion Tart

"My in-laws are notorious for eating nothing but super unhealthy stuff on Thanksgiving — but I still brought them a vegetable dish this year. The kicker? They wouldn't touch it so I had it all to myself, lol. And it was delicious from beginning to end! I tweaked the recipe a bit: Instead of bacon, I used roasted butternut squash. I also used half vodka in the crust recipe, which made it so soft and flaky and yummy. Normally I'd be sad if no one touched something I made, but this time it was just more for me — and I loved it." —Kadamony

Stephanie J. / BuzzFeed

"To all my fellow basic, autumn-lovin’ ladies who love going apple picking and then immediately regret buying 20 pounds of apples: This apple tart is crazy simple, easier to make than pie, and impossible to mess up. It's also 'rustic' —which basically means it’s allowed to look messy while still being ~chic~." —Stephanie J.

16. Skillet Chicken With Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce

sallysbakingaddiction.com

"My family loves this recipe! Even my brother (who is so picky when it comes to chicken) loves it. It's so easy to make, full of flavor, and you can adjust it to your liking when it comes to the spices and acid. And the sauce tastes great with potatoes as well as vegetables." —Kathryn W.
