4 Simple Skillet Dinners for Weeknights
|
A good skillet dinner keeps weeknight cooking manageable without cutting corners on flavor. These four recipes pair straightforward prep with results that range from creamy and comforting to bright and boldly seasoned. One-Pot Spaghetti CarbonaraEggs and Parmesan cheese do the work here, creating a creamy sauce without using heavy cream. Bacon and garlic bring plenty of savory flavor, and the one-pot method keeps cleanup to a minimum.
Fish Puttanesca (Pesce alla Puttanesca)Mild white fish simmers gently in a bold tomato sauce with the classic Italian flavors of puttanesca. Add warm garlic bread for an easy one-pan dinner that comes together in about 40 minutes.
Creamy Pork Curry with ApplesTender pork medallions, tart apples, and cider cook together in a lightly spiced cream sauce. It’s a balanced sweet-savory dinner that’s ready in about 35 minutes.
Cilantro Lime ChickenPan-seared chicken breasts are finished in a light cilantro-lime cream sauce for a fresh, tangy skillet dinner that takes about 30 minutes. Great over steamed rice or mashed potatoes.
