10 Best Comfort Food Recipes



IT’S OFFICIALLY cozy cooking season! 

We’ve rounded up our BEST comfort food recipes, mostly savoury and a little bit of sweet, for all  to enjoy. Bookmark these to take you through to the Spring thaw.


The Ultimate Cheat Lasagna: This ready-in-minutes meatless lasagna is an easy comfort dish for the winter months and by using jumbo cheese ravioli instead of layering sheets of pasta and cheese filling. The time savings is epic! For a more hearty meal, use meat filled ravioli and add layers of browned beef or Italian sausage to your sauce or double-down and use our beef Bolognese.
 

Ricotta & Spinach Stuffed Pasta Shells with Butternut Squash Sauce: Ricotta and spinach stuffed pasta shells are the perfect combo for this updated. Baked to perfection with a butternut squash sauce, these shells are wonderful to share with guests or make-ahead and serve for a weeknight meal. Use freezer-friendly individual aluminum containers for a quick heat and eat dinner for one.

Pasta al Tonno: Simplicity at its finest, this pasta dish brings together basic pantry and fresh ingredients for an easy dinner.

One Pot Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup: This One Pot Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup is a soup that eats like a meal AND one of our most popular recipes.


Spaghetti & Meatballs: Quintessential Italian comfort. SO easy with our ready-made meatballs and sauce.

Pannetone Bread Pudding: Turn a traditional panettone into a delicious dessert, a bread pudding! Made in a loaf pan and served in slices with a divine orange glaze, this takes holiday desserts to the next level. A new take on a classic, perfect for sharing.

Osso Bucco: While this dish takes a bit more time to prepare, this slow-braised osso bucco is uncomplicated in preparation and brings about beautiful comforting flavours. Serve as the star of your plate with risotto or polenta.


Mix & Match Macaroni & Cheese Bar: DAZZLE the family by setting up a Mac & Cheese Bar with a variety of toppings. Each guest can make their mac & cheese bowl of their dreams! Perfect for feeding a crowd or picky eaters.


Gruyere, Mushroom & Bacon Dip: Treat guests to this gooey grown-up dip for pre-Superbowl action.

Aged Cheddar Muffins with Herb Butter: Whether you enjoy these as a part of breakfast, brunch or as a side with dinner, they deliver in flavour on their own or stuffed with something delicious. Bump up the flavour even more by serving with homemade herb butter! These are the perfect vessel for leftover ham and a fried egg sandwich on New Year's Day.
