Not all tasty recipes require a ton of ingredients you probably don’t have in your pantry. In fact, some of the most delicious dishes require only five ingredients (yes, you read that right).

So the next time you’re in a pinch or you just want to take it easy in the kitchen, here are 10 five-ingredient recipes to keep on rotation.
