To lighten the mood, we'll include some funny quotes about each sign's mean streak.

With its springy noodles, savory tomato sauce, and luscious layers of cheese, lasagna is the ultimate comfort food. Yet many home cooks have likely had a few experiences where their lasagna didn't come out exactly as they'd planned. Perhaps the finished product was soupy, or didn't pack the expected punch of flavors as the same dish you'd order from your favorite Italian restaurant.

I love macaroni salads, and this is truly a special one. It's got something for all of the tastebuds and textures. Soft, crunchy, chewy, sweet, savory, tart, creamy, and oh so fresh! Here's what you'll need to make 8-10 side servings:

Broiling is a cooking method that uses intense, direct heat from the oven's top element to sear and brown food quickly. It's particularly effective for creating a crispy finish on top of casseroles (think a nice, crunchy macaroni and cheese crust) or even quickly cooking a perfect steak. This high-heat process, however, can easily lead to overcooked or burnt dishes if not closely monitored. One effective way to prevent this is by leaving the oven door slightly ajar while broiling.

If you're a pesto lover, then you already know how much it pumps up the volume on your favorite pasta salad recipes. And if you're an ardent foodie, then you might also be aware that when added to your fried eggs pesto does as much or maybe even more for your chicken seeds than it does for your noodles. Two crucial ingredients in this green pasta sauce make this possible: Olive oil and fresh basil. The olive oil part is probably obvious. Unless you own an industrial-strength non-stick skillet, you're going to need something to grease the pan to prevent the dreaded fried egg stickage. Plenty of people fry their eggs in butter, but it's not unheard of to fry eggs in olive oil. Pesto recipes usually contain anywhere from a half a cup of olive oil to a full cup. Thus, pesto provides your pan with plenty of non-stick power.

While chefs can create deliciously smoky cuts of meat with the help of a charcoal grill, this method requires plenty of patience for home cooks to learn about and master. So, if your charcoal grilling endeavors have been lackluster thus far, we might know the source of your woes.

Your ability to take your bottle of store-bought ranch from plain to downright spicy and delicious isn't reliant upon some culinary magic trick. Instead, all you need is a bit of ranch, plus your favorite spicy condiment like Tabasco, sriracha, or even packaged seasoning mix, like taco seasoning. For those who like just a little spice, a few drops of condiment or a teaspoon of seasoning is usually enough to add a weensie spicy nip to your dip.

Classic Caesar salad may look less colorful and busy than a regular house salad, but it packs a wallop of tangy, creamy, umami (not salty!) flavor you don't find in other salads. A Caesar typically contains only romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, croutons, and the eponymous dressing — a simple lineup. Obviously, the dressing is where the flavor lives in a Caesar, but if you've ever bought a bottle of it at the store hoping to replicate the intense, savory experience you got at a restaurant, you've probably been disappointed.
