2. Italian sausages and beans with garlic ciabatta (salsicce e fagioli con crostini all’aglio)
Beans and Italian sausage come together in Gino D’Acampo’s recipe for this Italian favorite. “This dish says so much about rustic Italian cooking – simple ingredients that balance each other out perfectly and bold flavors,” says D’Acampo. It’s a seriously easy one-pot dish that’s just as good for breakfast as it is for dinner.

3. The perfect ratatouille
This ratatouille is cooked low and slow, and is a matter of chopping, frying, and moving the pan to the oven to do the rest of the work. How long you leave it in is up to you, depending on how soft and tender you want the eggplant and how long you can stand the delicious smell.

9. Paella Valenciana
Everything about this Spanish classic is great, but it’s the layer of breaded rice at the bottom of the pan that is everyone’s ultimate goal. The secret to the best (the name given to the layer) ensures that the ratio of stock to rice is correct.

10. Betty’s casserole
An easy casserole of grilled lamb chops, thinly sliced potatoes, split peas and butter beans cooked in tomato soup. This recipe holds a special place in the heart of host Jason Om, in honor of Betty, a Jewish confidante who helped Jason and his father when his mother died when he was 12.

11. Risotto with chicken
If there’s a leader in the one-pot-meal clan, it’s the humble risotto. Commentator Jelena Dokic’s recipe uses an Italian risotto-cooking tip known as “mantecatura,” a concept in which butter and cheese are whisked into just-cooked al dente risotto rice just before serving.

20. Condensed milk, lemon and ginger pudding
A bit like an upside-down cheesecake, a bit like a crumble, this is a pudding in the retro sense. The puddings are placed in the cups you serve them from, so they are a quick clean-up job.
