Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (January 15 – 21)

Is it just us, or has that post-holiday fog still not fully lifted? Needless to say, we’ve been feeling supremely lazy in the kitchen. Luckily, we found seven dinners to cook this week that are decidedly simple and just right for nights when you just can’t even. Our favorites range from rotisserie chicken ramen to skillet salad pizza.

Cooking seafood does not need to be intimidating, and you don’t need to settle for the same humdrum salmon every week either. Enter this elegant, tender cod paired with winter produce. Can you believe it only takes 30 minutes from start to finish?

This simple spaghetti is a lifesaver on hectic evenings. (And good news, even picky kids will like it.) You’ll only need eight ingredients—most of which are pantry staples—and 15 minutes to pull it off. If you need more convincing, you’ll also only have one dirty pot to wash after you eat.

Minimal ingredients, cooked in a single pan, ready to serve in ten minutes flat—check, check and check. If you’re cooking for others, this dish is easy to scale up for a crowd. Add leftover ground beef, prosciutto or potatoes to the mix to make it more filling.

A zillion times more delicious than the microwave noodles you lived on in college, but not much fussier to prepare. Make the jammy eggs ahead to save even more time before dinner, and pile on the chile garlic sauce to your heart’s content.

This Thai-inspired, vegetarian masterpiece is as delicious as it is versatile. Most of the recipe’s components can be substituted with whatever you have on hand. Think broccoli instead of cauliflower, snap peas instead of bell peppers, green curry paste instead of red—it’s an overflowing fridge’s dream. 

With store-bought pizza dough and a cast iron skillet on your side, tonight’s dinner is positively foolproof. To balance out the greens for picky eaters (or meat-loving adults), crown the pie with prosciutto, salami or caramelized chorizo.
