Dinner will be ready in minutes thanks to these quick and easy recipes! Each dish takes no more than 25 minutes to make and has just three steps, so they’re perfect for busier evenings when you need something fast and simple. They’re also full of flavorful fall produce like spinach, apples, arugula and cabbage. Try options like our Apple-Cranberry Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese or our Caramelized Broccolini & White Beans for a hearty dinner that requires minimal effort.
Fennel Panzanella
James Beard Award-winner and Top Chef contestant Karen Akunowicz of Fox & the Knife in Boston turns this Italian-inspired bread salad into a hearty fall dish. Instead of tomato, fennel mingles with the vinaigrette to let the bread soak up its licorice notes, while the arugula lends the dish a hint of pepper. The lemony vinaigrette is so simple and tastes so much fresher than store-bought.

Here, we sprinkle the final pasta dish with crumbled goat cheese for nice tangy bites throughout. If you prefer a creamy sauce, stir the cheese into the pasta in Step 3 along with the reserved cooking water.

The creamy feta dressing steals the show in this protein-rich salad that makes a perfect lunch or quick and easy dinner. While you can buy feta cheese already crumbled, we like crumbling our own fresh from the block for this salad. While we prefer the slightly sharper flavor of sheep’s-milk feta, cow’s-milk feta works just as well.

This fiber-rich soup is an easy, healthy dinner when you’re pressed for time. This brothy soup is finished with a bit of heavy cream for body and richness. Frozen sweet potatoes and collard greens keep the prep to a minimum, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, fresh veggies work just as well.
