Okay, late for the show, but I’d like to recommend beans and greens. Super easy to make, really delicious, and can hold warm in a crock pot or something similar basically forever.
Sauté some garlic and diced onions in olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat, add a bunch of fresh leafy spinach and a bit more oil, work it until the spinach is completely wilted, add a few cans of drained cannellini beans, stir around with some salt, maybe a little pepper, stir some more, add some chicken stock (enough to just about cover what is in the saucepan), raise the heat and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let everything simmer, uncovered. I prefer to let it bubble away for many hours, so that the stock reduces. The beans will break down a bit and the starch from them, along with the reduced amount of liquid, will lead to a thicker dish (it will look like soup when you start, but it will thicken up nicely, almost stew-like).
I only use leafy spinach for this. I like escarole and broccoli rabe for some things, but I find them both way too bitter for this dish.
A little grated parm or romano, maybe some crushed red pepper, and a loaf of Italian bread and you’re all set.
I cook a lot, including many stupidly complicated things, and this is one of my favorites; it is incredibly easy and SO delicious.
