I'm Vietnamese, and my 2 comfort foods are Pho and seared beef with watercress salad. I tend to go out for Pho when I'm homesick or hurtin' and pan-sear the beef myself, serve it over fresh watercress, onions, and hot jasmine rice.

Pasta and tomatoe homemade sauce.
The whole dish just reminds me of simple home cooking which every member of our family enjoys...something which my mom would come home from the busiest day ever, or a vacation in the middle of the night...or just when one of us kids felt like lending a hand.
dash of olive oil and chopped garlic in a pan, simmered caramalised, fried pancetta or cubed bacon....appropriate tin of plum tomatoes dumped on and simmered off...then boiled pasta with parmesan.
