Baked Eggs with Spinach and Cream
Everyone is stocking up these days and getting ready for what may be some unexpected time at home. Before you head out to the market or pick up the phone to order in, stop and check your cupboards first.Bread (even the stale variety!), oatmeal, jarred tomatoes, a block of cheese—just a coupleof these pantry ingredientscan be enough to make a delightful dinner.
Next time you’re short on ingredients, turn to one of these eight different recipes. Then sit downtoenjoy a simple, humble meal, and relish the thought that you’ve managed to transform what seemed like nothing into something.
Garlic SoupSopa de ajo, a Castilian specialty,is famously restorative, but it’s actually made with little more thanstale bread, garlic cloves and water.
Cacio e PepeCheese, pepper, pasta, butter: That’s all you need to make this Roman specialty.
Savory OatmealWhileit’s usually relegated to breakfast, oatmeal shouldn’t be overlooked as a dinneroption. This recipe’s incredibly versatile: Swap the trout for canned tuna, or omit the fish altogether; drizzle the bowl with sesame oil and soy sauce in placeof olive oil;try stirring in shredded cheese of any kind.
Roasted Tomato SoupThis beloved recipe comes from Los Angeles chef Ray Garcia. If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, that’s no biggie; it would work usingcanned tomatoes, too.
Grilled CheeseSoft, stretchycheese between two slices of bread: that’s all the proof in the world that sometimes the simplest foods in the world are the best. As long as you have a melting cheese and slices of any type of bread, grilled cheese can be in your future. (You can even make a version ofegg-in-a-hole sandwichesif you have a couple of eggs on hand.)
Vegetable-lentil soup is a classic. Make it using whatever variety of lentils you have on hand;any variety of canned tomato—stewed, diced, whole—would work, too.
Baked Eggs with Spinach and CreamThis comforting dish comes together with just fouringredients excluding seasonings: eggs, spinach, cream and butter. If you don’t have spinach, substituteany other leafy green, such as kale or chard, or even frozen spinach that’s been defrosted and drained.
Spaghetti ArrabbiataAlthough this recipe calls for homemade fresh pasta, we’d also turn to it on a busy weeknight for the dried spaghetti we often keep on hand. Use boxed pasta of any variety to create an easy dish.

Tomato soup did the trick… well, it gave me enough of a recipe to make some variation. I’m glad I found this web page. I feel better now than I would’ve if I went out for fast food or something.

Bruh there is grilled cheese up there. All you need is butter, bread, cheese, and a frying pan. Don’t complicate things
