Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat: A Cookbook

Maybe she’s on a photo shoot in Zanzibar. Maybe she’s making people laugh on TV. But all Chrissy Teigen really wants to do is talk about dinner. Or breakfast. Lunch gets some love, too.

For years, she’s been collecting, cooking, and Instagramming her favorite recipes, and here they are: from breakfast all day to John’s famous fried chicken with spicy honey butter to her mom’s Thai classics.

Salty, spicy, saucy, and fun as sin (that’s the food, but that’s Chrissy, too), these dishes are for family, for date night at home, for party time, and for a few life-sucks moments (salads). You’ll learn the importance of chili peppers, the secret to cheesy-cheeseless eggs, and life tips like how to use bacon as a home fragrance, the single best way to wake up in the morning, and how not to overthink men or Brussels sprouts. Because for Chrissy Teigen, cooking, eating, life, and love are one and the same.

Lemony Arugula Spaghetti Cacio E Pepe

Serves 4

Prep time: 10 minutes.

Total time: 25 minutes.

Some say love conquers all, but I say cacio e pepe does. It’s true, John and I fell for each other and got married in Lake Como, Italy, but it’s also where I became a slave to this pasta dish, which is super peppery and cheesy and is basically the boss of me whenever I make it. At first I was a little worried: Since I first tasted it when I was all gooey-romancey in Italia, would it weather the trip home? Did I Have Pasta Goggles On? Thankfully, I adore it as much now as I did then—even more, actually.

Which is a good thing to be able to say about pasta recipes as well as husbands.

Recipe

In a large pot of heavily salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti to al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water (it comes in handy), then drain the pasta.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the pancetta over medium-high heat until crisped, 7 to 9 minutes. Add the olive oil, then add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the lemon juice to the skillet, then toss in the drained pasta and toss to coat. Add the Parm and toss, adding the pasta water, a couple of tablespoons at a time, just to help the cheese coat the pasta. Add the arugula and toss until it wilts, about 1 minute. Season to taste with additional salt, lots of black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Serve with more Parm.

Ingredients

Kosher salt

12 ounces dried spaghetti

1⁄4 pound pancetta or bacon, finely diced (about 3⁄4 cup)

1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

3 tablespoons minced garlic (about 4 big cloves)

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more to taste

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste

1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 1⁄2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving

3 cups baby arugula
