Dinner recipes Page 3

Dinner recipes for every kind of evening, from 15-minute pastas to slow-cooked weekend pots. Quick options include garlic parmesan pasta, lemon garlic basil pasta and chicken and shrimp with garlic, all ready in about half an hour or less. When you have more time, look to crockpot chili, a big batch of lasagna with meat sauce, chicken pot pie or a one-pot tortellini soup.

Cozy bowls such as split pea, black-eyed bean and potato soup sit alongside roasted rosemary chicken thighs, butternut squash risotto, Marrakesh vegetable curry, beef empanadas and cheeseburger sliders for a crowd. Several recipes recreate restaurant favorites or build on Ina Garten classics like mac and cheese with Gruyère.

Check the time and serving size first to match the dish to your evening, and look for the slow-cooker and make-ahead recipes on your busiest days.
