5 Delicious Weeknight Dinners That Will Clean Out Your Pantry

I keep a stocked pantry. Maybe it’s from my upbringing, maybe it’s that I write and test recipes for a living, but I find myself with odds and ends, half-empty boxes of funky pasta shapes, an array of condiments, and a spice drawer that seems to grow by the day. With that in mind, I’m going to focus on pantry meals this week, using canned tuna, pasta, lentils, and an almost-empty peanut butter jar.

I do this once a month or so, trying to make space for new products that catch my eye. While my friends go online shopping for clothes or home decor, I’m scouring social media for the next hot food products. Food shopping is my vice, but I guess it could be worse, right?
