Recipes with 7 Ingredients or Less
Pasta Alla Gricia
This dish is one of the quintessential pasta recipes of Rome, and it just so happens to tick every box right now: easy, minimal ingredients, and so so comforting.
Pesto Pizza Toast
Toast for dinner might sound like a boring concept - until you feast your eyes on this super-cheesy, pesto-y situation!
Lemon Spaghetti
This pasta has quite a reputation in Giada's repertoire - one of her most popular recipes of all time, and the #1 best seller at her restaurant. Who would have guessed it's so incredibly easy to make?
Easy Chicken Cordon Bleu
Chicken Cordon Bleu can feel like a totally upscale dish - and this open-faced version not only makes it easier to assemble, but with just a few ingredients, you can totally pull it off in a snap on any night.
Orecchiette Pasta with Almond Pesto
This pasta isn't just a minimal ingredient dish - other than boiling the noodles, it's totally no-cook! It makes fantastic leftovers, too.
Aglio e Olio
This simple pantry pasta from Naples is easy as can be. Giada put her spin on the traditional "garlic and oil" pasta with some crispy prosciutto, but you could use bacon or pancetta as well!
Easy Pantry Chicken
The secret to dolling up any regular chicken dinner is a great marinade. This one has minimal ingredients straight from the pantry, and it produces a super flavorful chicken!
Orecchiette with Turkey Sausage and Broccoli Rabe
Not only does this recipe have just a few ingredients, but its efficient with the use of pans, too - use the same water to cook your pasta that you cooked your broccoli rabe in!
Weeknight Chicken Thigh Parmesan
Ok, we're cheating here a little bit - this recipe technically has 9 ingredients, but one of those is water and the other is salt. Those don't count, right? Either way, this is a fantastic one-pan dish and chicken parm has seriously never been easier.
