Nothing new, plenty cooking. Chef Jack Ovens posted no uploads this week, but his archive brought in about 811,000 views, with daily viewing running above its usual level. Subscribers stayed unchanged.

The busiest individual recipe right now is "63g Protein Pasta Meal Prep That Doesn't Go Dry", a practical answer to the lunch-container problem: pasta that looks inviting on Sunday and rather less so after reheating. Jack builds this version around caramelised onions, seasoned chicken thighs and rigatoni, with sun-dried tomato oil doing double duty in the onions and chicken.

The useful detail comes at the sauce stage. He lowers the heat before incorporating cream cheese, milk and Dijon, warning that hotter cooking will split the cream cheese. Parmesan and spinach follow, then the chicken and slightly undercooked pasta. The finished batch goes into five containers. Jack says it stores and reheats particularly well.

His garlic herb chicken bowls also remain among the recipes drawing the most daily views, alongside "The Restaurant Secret For Creamy Tomato Pasta Without Cream". That last tutorial takes a different route to a glossy sauce: pasta water, olive oil, cheese and a cold-butter finish, rather than cream.

Meal prep has deep roots in this archive. His sweet-and-sour chicken guide from 2022 is approaching 12 million views, a reminder that making several lunches in one cooking session has long been a central ingredient here.
