Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (June 14 – 20)

Sometimes, we relish channeling Julia Child’s limitless patience and carefully tending to a pot of bouillabaisse for hours on end. But most days, we’re more than happy to use a shortcut. This week stars seven recipes that have an inconspicuous cheat built in, so you can spend less time in the kitchen and more time soaking up oohs and aahs at the table. Your secret is safe with us.

Thanks to store-bought pie crust, slicing the zucchini is essentially half the work. And since it’s a rustic galette, you won’t have to fuss with meticulously crimping the sides. Win-win.

Instead of boiling the pasta in its own pot of water before seasoning it, all the ingredients are cooked together in one shot to cut the cook time in half. Pass the Parm, please.

It only *looks* like a tall order for the middle of the week. Our take on the Spanish classic comes together in a single skillet in just one hour. Don’t let the seafood intimidate you: The clams and shrimp basically cook themselves.

Store-bought flatbread FTW. All it takes to reach pizza heaven is a slather of citrusy ricotta cheese, easy jarred artichoke hearts and few minutes on the grill.

Homemade soup doesn’t get any simpler, but fresh corn isn’t at peak deliciousness just yet. So, instead of shucking two ears yourself, substitute about 1½ cups of canned corn. (Either way, go wild with the sesame seed brown butter.)

Rotisserie chicken just might be our favorite cheat in the book, but canned salsa verde and corn also shave down the prep time. The hardest part is waiting for the enchiladas to bake to ooey-gooey perfection.
