This one is really fast because you cook the pasta in the sauce. It's a favorite for Thursday nights in my house because it only makes one pot dirty and doesn't require an oven. It helps that my kids all happily eat it despite the veggies.

Thanx! That recipe looks great, but do you need a Wonderpot for it? I don’t know what this is..??

No, just a regular pot.

I forgot to mention that I saute the onion and garlic for a little extra flavor since I add some water and use a full 1 lb box of noodles instead of 12 oz and a whole bag of spinach.

Any sort of chicken on the bone- you can do bbq sauce or ketchup or combo brown sugar w soy sauce.
Sides can be rice (baked in the oven with the 2:1 water to rice ratio). Sweet potatoes with cinnamon on top. Roasted potatoes. Mashed potatoes. Spaghetti...
Veg can be roasted anything! Take a sheet pan, put foil, and throw on any frozen veg with some garlic and salt on 425.

Everyone has different definitions of fast and easy, for me it can be grilled cheese, omelets, one pan chicken and potatoes, depending what I have at home.
I actually find croc pot dinners easiest in a way, it requires pre planning but leaves my day free.
Dinner Done has lots of easy fast recipes as well.

Shakshuka and corn on the cob. I use premade shakshuka sauce, but it's an easy meal even if you make your own.

Make rice, put out chopped vegetables, canned beans and chili beans, and tortilla wraps. Kids make their own burritos.

Pancakes and scrambled eggs with vegetables

Corn soup, carrot soup, sweet potato soup, potato soup. Same general recipe for all - boil vegetables (frozen corn, for the corn soup), add a chunk of frozen fried onions, and some salt and parve soup powder for flavor. When vegetables are soft, blend it down. Serve with sour cream and rice and/or croutons.

Chili. Canned beans, canned chili beans, canned corn, a bit of tomato sauce. Can add chicken or ground beef. Serve over rice or couscous.

(I have a rice cooker, so anything with rice is very easy)

The recipe is for sesame noodles. I’ve fried sliced chicken cutlets in water or oil and then added the sauce below and then added cooked spaghetti on top for a few min.

1 box spaghetti
1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c sesame oil
1/4 c sugar
Sesame seeds
