We've given you twists in your favorite dishes, and turns to new ingredients and techniques you've never heard of. But not every meal should be an adventure. Some meals should fill the soul, the belly, the heart with warmth and flavors that are familiar. This tomato-y pasta, augmented by the sweetness of the roasted peppers and the heat of the red pepper flakes, checks all the comfort boxes and then some. In fact, we think this meal fits in quite nicely with some soft slippers, snug blankets, and a warm mug of cocoa. Treat yourself! Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.

Meatlovers! If using protein, pat dry and cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry, and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. If using ground beef, break up until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. If using sliced flank steak, separate pieces, pat dry, and coarsely chop. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes. Add to pasta as desired.
