Dinner recipes

Weeknight dinners from skillet pasta and sheet-pan chicken to slow-cooker roasts, with options for 20 minutes or a lazy afternoon. The range is wide. Fast picks include Pasta With Sausage, Egg Roll in a Bowl, Quick Easy Chili and Pastina soup, all done in under half an hour. Baked dishes such as Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Potato Broccoli Casserole and Baked Ravioli with Marinara need about an hour but little attention.

For hands-off cooking, try the Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli or Instant Pot BBQ Brisket. Chicken appears in many forms, from jerk wings and Hawaiian sheet pan to Alfredo, and eggplant has its own run of dinners. Check the time and serving size at the top of each recipe, then choose by how much effort tonight allows.
