Satisfying Weeknight Pasta

This recipe is a continuation of my series of easy weeknight, fast yet good food. It's easy to take this base recipe and jazz it up to create something great. But as it stands its good food fast and easy as is. There are many options to up the flavor. For instance add in dried Italian herbs simmer phase. Or add fresh chopped garlic about a minute before deglazing. This is a great base to expand on.

The humble grilled cheese can be leveled up with a few tricks. There are two simple tricks that make this an obvious upgrade. The mayo creates the perfect crust, while the mustard mixes perfectly with the cheese. Consider adding onions, tomato slices, or salsa for even more complexity.

Easy Morning Breakfast Burrito

This burrito is great when you don't have much time but want something warm. Packed with protein and made with regular ingredients you have lying around. The hot sauce does some heavy lifting so pick one you like. I went with Cholula chili garlic.

Slow Cooker Zesty Turkey and Black Beans

This dish focuses on building layers of bold, zesty flavor with almost zero active labor. The combination of earthy cumin, oregano, Sazón Goya, and white wine creates a sophisticated savory base that penetrates the turkey and black beans as they simmer. The result is a comforting, hearty meal with a depth of flavor that belies its simplicity. Aside from basic chopping and opening a few cans, the slow cooker does all the work. Finished with a squeeze of fresh lime to brighten the flavors, this recipe provides a high-quality dinner without the need for a complicated process.

Balsamic Tuna Sandwich

You can eat it right away for a decent sandwich, but the secret is marinating for at least one night. The quality of balsamic and olive oil are important in this uncooked sandwich.
