1. Ricotta Pasta Bake
This recipe from Ali Slagle is a lighter, brighter answer to stuffed shells, and much faster to make, too. Serve with salad or easy green beans like these, with the recipe halved; the beans can roast on a separate pan in the oven alongside the onions and tomatoes for the pasta.
2. Baked Salmon
Lidey Heuck gives us a straightforward way to bake salmon, using seasonings you might already have on hand (garlic, brown sugar and paprika) — though you can use any spice mix you like.
3. Crispy Green Bean and Potato Sabzi
Commenters are loving this recipe from Priya Krishna, who adds almond butter to a green bean and potato sabzi (the term for a vegetable dish, of which there are countless across Indian regional cooking). Seasoned generously with coriander, cumin, ginger and garlic, it’s an excellent dinner, and a flexible one, as you can swap in other vegetables if you like.
4. Sheet-Pan Chicken With Sweet Potatoes and Fennel
This hit recipe from Yewande Komolafe works well for kids, with its sweet potato cubes that roast alongside the chicken. But it’s sophisticated enough for the adults at the table, too, with a lemon vinaigrette that takes a minute to put together and heightens the flavors of the dish.
