Pasta dishes 
One-dish meals Pasta, carrot and zucchini gratin
This golden, bubbly pasta gratin is a great dish to share: just a few ingredients and super versatile, since it also works for anyone who needs to steer clear of heavy or heavily spiced food. I made it with boiled veggies and no spices, and it was already delicious! You'll still find nutmeg and black pepper in the recipe, just for completeness.
One-dish meals Curry Soy Strips with Coconut Milk and Vegetables
My new favorite dish — I'm obsessed! A plant-based take on the famous chicken curry, dreamed up and leveled up by Giuliano (who's anything but a clueless cook!). It takes a pinch of focus, but even us clueless cooks can pull this off, I swear!
