Creamy Orzo with Marinated Tomatoes
There are two words for this dish — simple and satisfying. It’s too bad all weeknight dinners can’t be this way. Everyone loves a rich, creamy pasta dish, but with the rich flavor comes a lot of time invested. Not a problem. Much of this dish’s richness can be attributed to the natural starches found in the orzo pasta.
You could eat the pasta by itself, but the marinated tomato topping shouldn’t be missed. Cool tomatoes against warm, creamy pasta is perfection in a bowl! Grape tomatoe…

Step 2, melt the cheese in the milk. Step 3, pour the cream sauce over the pasta. Step 4, bake. Now how simple is that?
Boursin cheese gives this “boil, pour, and bake” recipe extra pizzazz. Its smooth, buttery texture is a natural with pasta. If that weren’t enough, this dish gets sprinkled with a topping…
Tex-Mex Lasagna
You’ve never had lasagna quite like this. In fact, if you’re going by taste, this dinner is more reminiscent of King Ranch chicken — a popular casserole that’s inexplicably named after a historic ranch in Texas.
Include the chicken, cheese, and tortillas from the original recipe, but upgrade the canned creamed soup to a robust homemade sauce loaded with sautéed vegetables. Then, assemble the three-layer “lasagna” using baked strips of corn tortillas as if they were noodles. Ancho chil…
Spinach Gnocchi

Chicken Tetrazzini
For a healthy tweak on a rich and creamy casserole, try this wholesome tetrazzini with whole-wheat linguine, boneless, skinless chicken breast, and a plethora of vegetables.
Original 8-Layer Lasagna with Bolognese Sauce
Bolognese [boh-loh-N’YEH-zeh] is prepared like a stew. Ingredients are sauteed and then simmered in liquid. Original recipes call for four hours of simmering because the meat (usually skirt steak) needed time to tenderize. The ground meat in this recipe doesn’t need time to tenderize. But it still needs time — liquids reduce, intensifying the flavor and thickening. Perfect for layering in our Original 8-Layer Lasagna with Bolognese Sauce.
Chicken Saltimbocca
This chicken version of a Roman specialty, saltimbocca, is dressed to impress. Wrapped with prosciutto and sage and served over pasta tossed with capers and a white wine sauce, these sautéed cutlets exude top-shelf quality while still being an affordable and easy weeknight option.
Meatball-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
Ground round is one of the leanest of all the ground beefs. Its meat-to-fat ratios is 85 percent beef and 15 percent fat, making it perfect for this lightened up version of spaghetti and meatballs.
Marinara Sauce
This subtly spicy Marinara Sauce is so simple and quick, there's no reason to buy a jar at the store. Fresh tomatoes, red bell pepper, basil, and oregano add freshness and flavor that canned tomatoes and dried herbs just can’t compete with.
Scallion & Bacon Spaghetti
A quick and simple pasta dish, like this Scallion & Bacon Spaghetti, is perfect on its own or as an easy side. Here, spaghetti turns smoky with crumbled bacon and grilled scallions. While a simple vinaigrette adds freshness and tang and an extra dose of flare to any meal.
Confetti Pasta with chicken tenders
This is no ordinary pasta dish — it’s filling without being heavy, and full of nutrition from all the brightly colored vegetables.
Pepper Steak
If you’re looking to make healthier dinner choices, you might think steak — known for its relatively high levels of fat and cholesterol — is off the table entirely. Not so, when you serve it in a way to stretch portions, amp up flavor, and pair it with an extra-healthy side dish like this Parmesan Spaghetti Squash.
