The Most Popular Recipes in America for 2022

This pasta, as seen on the Hulu series “The Bear,” is made with a simple sauce involving San Marzano tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and parmigiano.

The recipe for this 19-ingredient sandwich, with turkey, salami, and provolone as the starring players, was posted on TikTok by model Bella Hadid.

A more generic term for the Italian-deli sandwich at No. 9, the grinder is also called a sub, a hero, a hoagie, a wedge, and a spuckie in various places.

It is widely believed that Jennifer Aniston (whose heritage is Greek; her father’s original last name was Anastassakis) ate this salad – which includes bulgur wheat, chickpeas, cucumber, and feta – daily while filming “Friends.” Aniston says she did eat a salad every day, but it wasn’t this one, and that she has no idea how her name came to be attached here.

This is a confusing one. Green goddess dressing, traditionally made with sour cream, mayonnaise, chives, tarragon, and chervil, and invented in San Francisco in the 1920s as a tribute to a hit play called “The Green Goddess,” can be used with any conventional lettuce-based salad.

A Google search for the salad of the same name, however, turns up an iceberg and spinach salad in a rice vinegar dressing, with or without nuts; another salad involving artichoke hearts, avocado, and cucumber; and still another that adds shrimp to the mix. The same name is also applied to a fruit salad based on pistachio pudding, whose alternate name is Watergate salad for reasons nobody understands.

This is a fairly straightforward dessert made with fresh or frozen mango pulp, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk and crushed graham crackers bound with butter. It is a traditional dessert in Colombia, among other places, where it is known as pastel de mango.

The key here is simplicity – just mixing together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder, then stirring in milk, vegetable oil, and egg.

One story is that some unnamed magazine food editors were testing this recipe – which calls for heavy cream, parmigiano, herbs, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes (sometimes garnished with bacon) – when one of them said it was so good, she’d marry it if she could. Another explanation of the name is that cooking it for a prospective spouse will seal the deal. (There’s also something called Engagement chicken – a whole bird rubbed with lemon juice.)

No Texan would recognize this as chili. Developed by Greek immigrants in Cincinnati in the 1920s, it’s flavored with such spices as cinnamon, clove, cumin, and nutmeg and is served over spaghetti, topped with various combinations of shredded cheddar, beans, and chopped onions.

“Sugo” is simply the Italian word for “sauce.” It generally means a long-simmered tomato sauce, pretty much the same as the sauce on the spaghetti at the other end of this list, from the Hulu series “The Bear.”
