Dinner

A bold pasta that cooks in just one pot? Now that's a delicious recipe made easy.

Thin chicken cutlets are easy to coat in the hazelnut breading, plus they cook in a flash for time-strapped weeknights. If you can’t find four 4-oz cutlets, buy two 8-oz chicken breasts and cut each horizontally into two thin pieces. Use a rolling pin or the bottom of a saucepan to pound the cutlets to an even thickness – just be sure to cover the chicken with plastic wrap first for easy cleanup.

There's no need to soak the beans overnight for this easy slow-cooker version of an all-American favorite. The corn bread recipe makes more than you'll need, but here's a tip: Heat up the leftovers and drizzle with honey for a super fast breakfast the next day.

Sweet strudels tend to steal the spotlight, but it's time to take this flaky pastry to the savory side. We've used a store-bought phyllo dough for the easiest prep – look for it in the freezer section of your supermarket. To keep the pastry sheets from drying out and make them easier to handle, cover them with a damp towel when not in use.

Arame seaweed adds a touch of sweetness to these Asian-style meatballs. Serve as an appetizer with the spicy-sweet sauce on the side, or wrap in lettuce leaves and drizzle with the sauce for a light main. Garnish with cilantro and arame for an extra-pretty presentation.

Make It From Scratch: Use a store-bought pasta in any of our recipes, or if you’re feeling adventurous, try one of our two fresh pasta recipes – we have a whole-grain and a gluten-free option.

We've elevated the humble pasta bake to Sunday supper-worthy fare by using lamb instead of beef and swapping out the mozzarella often found on casseroles for Fontina, a mild, buttery, semi-soft cheese with a slight nuttiness. Substitute ground lamb for lean sausage or ground beef depending on your current taste bud needs.

Cherry Bomb peppers may look cute but these little guys pack the heat! The round red peppers – also known as Hungarian cherry peppers – are about as spicy as jalapeños and have a thick, crunchy flesh that stands up well to cooking. Keep the basil stems and toss them in your sauce for extra (and effortless!) flavor. The stems become very tender when cooked, so there's no need to remove them before serving.

Ground nori melts seamlessly into this elegant brown butter pan sauce, adding its signature earthy-salty flavor. 
The keys to browning butter without burning it are watching the pan carefully and swirling it often. 
The butter will melt and then start to foam, at which point you’ll notice the color change from 
yellow to golden brown. Take it off the heat as soon as it starts to smell nutty.

Blending cashews with lemon juice and hot water creates a luscious 
cream for this comforting plant-based mushroom stroganoff. Mushrooms 
are full of umami taste, which gives the sauce full-bodied flavor in a 
fraction of the time it takes to make the original beef version.

Prepare a stick-to-your-ribs, freezable family favorite: Mango Peanut Curry. To increase 
heart-helping fiber, serve curry over brown rice, quinoa, soba noodles or brown rice noodles.

In this recipe, we use pomegranate juice, honey and lemon to make a molasses. To save time, you can use 1/3 cup prepared pomegranate molasses. Look for one without additives or preservatives.

With a light sesame flavor and a surprising crunch, this soup is a 
staff favorite. Try topping with a drizzle of additional sriracha and 
sesame oil, or if you prefer to go sweet, try a drizzle of honey.

This intensely flavorful dish is a cross between two classic French meals: beef bourguignon and coq au vin. For best results, use a good-quality red wine – ideally, Burgundy. If you have butcher’s twine on hand, use it to tie the thyme sprigs together for easy removal once the stew is done.

Dressing (aka stuffing) has long served as a faithful sidekick to turkey. Here, the side steals the show in traditional meatballs, lending moist texture and tons of flavor.

A handful of pantry staples and a few fresh veggies are all you need to transform leftover turkey breast into this quick and satisfying take on the classic pasta dish. Feel free to substitute chicken for the turkey if that’s what you have on hand.

you can use them instead of the peas.

yet refreshing.

You can’t get more simply delicious than a pork loin. Here, the moist, 
tender meat is brushed with a tart-sweet glaze and served with a 
fruity compote that cooks right in the roasting pan.

The stuffing in this rolled-up turkey breast is a lot like traditional stuffing, but instead of being in the cavity of the bird, it’s in a ribbon throughout the meat. So each no-carving-necessary slice has a spiral of bready, herb-laced goodness.

The fun part of pizza making is getting creative with toppings, using whatever we have in the house. We have been putting hummus on our pizza crust for quite some time. On top of the hummus, you can put any greens you have. Sometimes I use watercress or baby spinach for the kids because they are milder, though I love to use fresh spring baby arugula. The sautéed mushrooms add a great texture and pop of flavor.

Smoked paprika is a time-strapped cook’s best friend – it instantly lends a smoky flavor and rich aroma to everything it touches. Here, it makes this saucy dish taste like it’s been simmering for hours. Bone-in chicken thighs are often 
sold with the skin still attached, but it’s easy to remove yourself: Simply grasp the edge of the skin with paper towel 
and pull it away in one go. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, such as oregano or basil, just before serving.

Premake your favorite hearty recipe and freeze individual servings for grab-and-reheat dinners. By the time evening rolls around after a long day’s work, it's uncommon for the average individual to have the energy to cook an elaborate meal.

Not only will having frozen meals on hand significantly decrease your urge to reach for the takeout menu, but it will also decrease your overall food costs and keep you eating healthily.
