Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (May 6 – 12)

Things you want: simple, tasty, home-cooked dinners. Things you don’t want: spending a bundle on groceries, and using every ingredient in your pantry just to make a meal. Here, you’ll find seven recipes to cook this week that check both boxes. Each dish calls for ten ingredients or fewer (that’s including essentials like salt and cooking oil), so you can keep the shopping to a minimum and satisfy everyone at the table.

Add this ten-minute stunner to your collection of foolproof, no-cook recipes. Tinned fish saves mealtime once again with the help of pantry staples, torn herbs and fresh citrus. Take your pick of bread, crackers or rice for pairing. 

This Mexican dish has the power to make any morning—or evening—a good one. Not only is it delicious, but it also only takes seven ingredients and 25 minutes to prepare. (Oh, and each serving is packed with 27 grams of protein.)

Pan-fried halloumi tops vinegar-kissed tomatoes, tender farro and herbs. In case you’ve never cooked with this squeaky cheese before, it’s semi-hard and holds up against heat like a champ, developing a golden, caramelized exterior when seared.

You wouldn’t be the first to taste this five-ingredient pasta and crave it on a nightly basis. (What’s not to like about pecorino Romano?) It’ll be on the table in 20 minutes flat and it’s an easy win with picky eaters. Pair it with a Caesar salad to get some greens in.

All that’s missing is a side salad (or potatoes), a crisp glass of white and fresh baguette. The seafood recipe calls for slathering the salmon in store-bought basil pesto for convenience, but you could make your own instead, if you feel so inclined.
