Dinner

Roasting at a lower temperature means that no part of the chicken is likely to overcook and get dry when the leftovers are shredded, making it ideal for using throughout the week.

Make a double batch of the tahini-honey sauce at the beginning of the week to use on salads, as a dip for crunchy vegetables, or drizzled over seared salmon.

You know the soup and salad deal? Well, this is our take on combining the two into one dish.

Food director Carla Lalli Music and editor in chief Adam Rapoport get saucy over saucy chicken.

You can keep the herbs, sauce, and noodles separate, or combine them all in a bowl like we did.

Raisins in your pesto?!? We promise that they deliver the right amount of sweetness to complement the lamb.

Think of this as the weeknight version of a classic Italian porchetta—it's not traditional, but it sure is delicious.

Some of us still have nightmares about bad puréed black bean soups that were once a “thing.” Creamy puréed pinto beans, chiles, and lots of mix-ins set this soup on the right path.

I've tried the breezy hostess approach to a dinner party, with a sane number of doable recipes, but it's never quite as thrilling or satisfying as a menu with some reach in it.

This weeknight-friendly pasta uses one skillet, one pot, and plenty of cheese.

Strange as it may sound, and although it is surely not the healthiest way to cook broccoli, do give this a try. You will be amazed at how even broccoli can become what tastes like an indulgent, olive oil–laden, garlicky treat.

This cheesy, lemony twist on traditional latkes was created by Missy Robbins, chef/owner of Lilia in Brooklyn.

The assignment: A satisfying, creamy, crave-worthy baked pasta that would still be delicious without (most of) the cheese. Nailed it!

The chile butter is just that—mixing Calabrian chiles with butter—for this ridiculously easy appetizer.

This briny, bright sauce is just what you need to liven up almost any kind of fish.

The squid only takes 3 minutes to sear for this simple salad.

A super simple red sauce lets the shellfish shine—say that 5 times fast.

Faster than delivery, and about 10x more delicious.

You don't need to have a large, well-equipped home to have a killer dinner party. You just need to know the moves.

The honey lends a sweet, caramelize-y twist to this quick curry, but if you want to up the heat, add a big pinch of cayenne pepper. Have some thick, crusty bread handy to scoop up all the extra sauce, or serve alongside a pile of rice for a low-maintenance comfort food dinner.

Scallops in 10 minutes, and more awesome recipes that our food director makes time and time again.

The noodles are just a vessel for this savory, gingery, simple weeknight sauce. Double the batch, and you’ll always have a way to brighten up simple grilled or pan-roasted chops, roasted veggies, or grain bowls.

Because you need more butter-roasted things in your life.

When you need an interesting dinner idea and you need it fast, we’ve got you.
