Why do some of the dishes that seem the most simple, and the most "rustic," actually require a list of ingredients as long as the phone book? (Heh, remember phone books?) A rustic French peasant dish, like cassoulet, seems like it shouldn’t require you to gather dozens of ingredients to pull it off—isn’t that stuff supposed to be born out of using up whatever you happen to have lying around?If we’ve gotta go to three different grocery stores to get all the right things just to make dinner, that’s too many ingredients. Here are a few recipes from the MUNCHIES archives that you can pull off with six ingredients or fewer—and get out of the grocery store by taking advantage of the 10 Items or Less [sic] lane.

(Full disclosure: we’re considering ingredients like oil, butter, salt, and pepper to be things that a mildly competent home cook generally keeps stocked in their pantry already, but if you are less prepared, well, then, these are still at least 10 ingredients or fewer and that ain’t bad either.)Tender bites of artichoke hearts draped with a sage leaf; wrapped in a crispy, salty, porky blanket of soppressata; and tucked into bed with a shower of parm—and yes, it's just as dreamy as it sounds.Use any small spicy red pepper you prefer, at the heat level of your choice, for a quick and extremely flavorful homemade condiment that doesn't take much time at all.These salmon and kimchi pancakes take just five main ingredients to pull together, plus one extra (mayo) to make a dipping sauce. Sure, you can call it "aioli" if you wanna feel fancier.The MUNCHIES crew are all massive fans of this recipe at the moment, and we want to pull you all into the one-pan-baked-bacon-and-egg cult, too.Buttered noodles skirt that line between "desperation food" and "comfort food." But add some garlic and cheese, and you'll definitely be sure which side they fall on.This not-totally-traditional carbonara gets an extra hit of umami from soy sauce, but if you'd rather do as the Romans, all you really need are egg yolks, guanciale, pasta, and grated cheese.
