Name: Flatbread with Sausage, Bell Peppers, and Asiago
Yield: Makes 2 or 3 flatbreads, depending on thickness
Ingredients: All-purpose flour, for dusting a work surface; Pizza and flatbread dough; Cornmeal; 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; 1 pound Asiago or Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved; 1/2 pound Italian sausage, casings removed, meat crumbled into nut-size nuggets; 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into thin strips

There's no tomato or mozzarella on this flatbread. Instead, we have sausage, sweet bell peppers, and Asiago cheese, just one example of how you can devise a simple but original pizza by drawing on just a handful of ingredients.

Cook's Suggestions:

· Replace the bell pepper with a hot chile.
· Use Robiola or Taleggio instead of Asiago.
· Replace the sausage with browned ground beef, sliced meatballs, or diced leftover chicken or turkey.

Recipe notes

Caramelized Onion Pasta

Turn humble onions into this thrifty yet luxe pasta dinner.

Heavenly Halva Cake

Serve a thick slice for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Vodka Gochujang Pasta

This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.

Our Favorite French Onion Soup

Caramelized onions, melty Gruyère, and a deeply savory broth deliver the kind of comfort that doesn’t need improving.

Kung Pao Cabbage With Tofu

Reliable cabbage is cooked in the punchy sauce and then combined with store-bought baked tofu and roasted cashews for a salad that can also be eaten with rice.

Smothered Italian Sausage

This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

Golden Mushroom Soup With Orzo & a Pat of Butter

This is the type of soup that, at first glance, might seem a little…unexciting. But you’re underestimating the power of mushrooms, which do the heavy lifting.

White Bean Turkey Chili

A dash of cocoa powder adds depth and richness to the broth of this easy turkey chili.
