nothing to it
Easy as pie
Nothing to it dismisses something as easy or uncomplicated: Once you get the hang of it, there's nothing to it.
The phrase often reassures someone facing a task that seems daunting but proves simple in practice.
It can also minimize effort already expended: I fixed the leak—nothing to it.
