We get it-you’re busy. Us, too. At the same time, we’d like to whip up a tricky feast for dinner each night that’s now not going to show up. The answer? These 32 dinner thoughts require minimum effort (or fancy chef abilities) and taste scrumptious. From 15-minute pasta recipes to one-pan chicken winners, we’ve got you blanketed for an entire month of easy dinners.
15-Minute Lemony Broccolini Pasta
It requires many paintings and know-how, such as dumping out a jar of marinara, but it is rather brilliant.
One-Pan Roasted Chicken with Carrots
Place all ingredients on a sheet pan and bake the whole thing in the oven—what’s easier than that? (Oh, and there aren’t any dishes to do.)
Ravioli Lasagna
While the original dish may be a touch intricate (all that layering, not to mention making a béchamel sauce from scratch), this version is drastically less complicated to grasp. (But it tastes as delicious.)
Slow-Cooker Chicken Teriyaki
Let your Crock-Pot do the work. But significantly, sell off all of the substances in there, set the timer, and pick up some shop-sold tortillas, and you’re correct to move.
Cheater’s Skillet Paella
A sophisticated dish that tastes like you spent all day making it, but it’s prepared and on the desk in under an hour.
Skillet Gnocchi with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe
How amazing does this man appear? (Don’t tell absolutely everyone that each one you had to do turned into throwing the whole thing inside the pot and waiting for a half-hour.)
Pan-fried cod with Orange and Swiss Chard
We recognize—that cooking fish seems horrifying. But if you use a nonstick pan, this dish is even simpler to prepare dinner than fowl. Promise.
Cacio e Pepe
Rich, creamy, and oh-so-smooth. It’ll be your weeknight go-to once you’ve mastered this decadent cheese and pepper pasta dish.
Mini Chicken Shawarma
Fact: Everything tastes better in miniature…consisting of chunk wallets made with bird tenders, smooth pita bread, and a creamy herb sauce.
Honey-Lime Chicken and Veggies in Foil
Allow us to introduce you to the cooking approach that quickly receives dinner at the table with zero dishes to ease up.
15-Minute Mezze Plate with Toasted Za’atar Pita Bread
Is it fair to name this cooking? Maybe no longer. But while the effects are this precise, who cares?
One-Pot, 15-Minute Pasta Limone
It’s easy enough for a weeknight but fancy enough for a dinner party. Just don’t skimp on the Parm.
Shrimp with Cauliflower ‘Grits’ and Arugula
Our preferred veggie makes cutting return on carbs smooth. Oh, and did we point out that you can have this man geared up and at the desk in just 30 minutes?
20-Minute Paleo Egg Roll Bowls
Who needs wrappers? Everyone knows that the filling is a fine element.
