Casseroles
Casseroles work best when getting creative with pantry items. One spare tomato, some wilting spinach, a few sticks of string cheese and a whole lot of love can make dinner memorable. Combine them together with a pound of pasta and some tomato paste, and you’ll have a casserole fit for your Italian grandmother’s table.
