5 Weeknight Dinners I Can’t Stop Making

Every Monday, our editors bring you Simply (Weeknight) Recipes, five quick and easy dinner recipes to make this week.

While I often spend a week eating the same thing for breakfast and inhale leftovers for lunch day after day, I crave variety for dinner. It’s the one meal I rarely eat alone, and I want it to feel special.

Don’t confuse special for difficult—a 15-minute plate of pasta or toast piled high with tasty toppings is enough to make me excited for dinner. After all, I have packed weekdays just like everyone else, and I often end work exhausted and hungry.

These five easy meals fit the bill. They’re all ready in a flash, super flavorful, and don’t require lots of clean-up.
