Coq au vin (or rooster with wine) is a classic French dish that isn’t as complicated as it sounds, sort of like your favorite Scorpio. Chicken is braised in a silky wine sauce and finished off with butter for the most perfect sauce. Channel your inner Julia Child, and make this anytime you want to impress at your dinner party or at-home date night.

Cozy, warming and perfectly rich for Scorpio season, our classic French onion soup is a recurring favorite on the weekly rotation. But, when we want to put those bowls away and dig into something a bit heartier, we turn to the tried-and-true potato to transform the staple soup into a filling comfort food. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or an easy appetizer, these cheesy, soupy potatoes can do it all.

If you can’t get enough of Rome’s famous spaghetti carbonara, then we have a sneaking suspicion you’ll love this extra cheesy pizza version. With bacon, plenty of cheese, and an egg baked in the center of the pie, this pizza is salty, cheesy, and so satisfyingly messy, something a Scorpio could definitely get behind.

This is like the OG one-pot pasta. The spaghetti is cooked in a spicy tomato broth in a style similar to risotto and charred in the pan as the broth gets absorbed. And when we say charred, we mean burnt. Trust us, the rich tomato, burned starch, and spicy mess of it all is absolutely delicious.

Steak will always say “I love you,” but if you want to really jazz it up for your next date night (especially if you’re trying to impress a Scorpio), make this 12-ounce strip with a creamy bourbon garlic sauce. Seared until deeply browned, basted in garlicky butter, and served with a dreamy pan gravy, this steak is the perfect centerpiece for any special occasion dinner.
Delish started something extra special by inverting the classic tamale pie to give it a cornbread crust instead of a cornbread topping. We did it for the chicken tamale pie too, and we loved the idea so much that we kept the trend going with this Instant Pot carnitas version. It’s full of surprises, just like a Scorpio.

The beauty of this one-pot beet soup goes far beyond its vibrant color, as stunning as it is. Not only does the soup come together easily, but it’s also delicious and nutritious. Antioxidant-rich beets are simmered with starchy potatoes, shallots, garlic, and aromatic harissa paste, which adds a subtle spicy and smoky flavor to the soup that a Scorpio will flip over.
