Use these to your advantage to cut down on dinnertime prep.

Plus, this recipe requires just three ingredients, not including basics like salt, pepper and oil.

Cheesy Marinara Beans

This ooey-gooey dish has baked-pasta vibes but features protein-packed beans instead of noodles.

Look for dried corona beans, a larger, creamy white bean, at natural-foods stores or online.

Cannellini are a good substitute.

Serve with a green salad and toasted baguette.

Black Bean Fajita Skillet

To make a vegetarian version use vegetable rather than chicken broth.

Top each bowl with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano for a zesty burst of flavor.

If you could handle extra heat, try doubling the crushed red pepper for a bigger punch of flavor.

You could also very easily make this a vegan stew by swapping out the butter for oil.

Because this recipe makes a large amount of stew, consider freezing half for later.

Serve the curry over lightly warmed zucchini noodles to get even more veggies in your weeknight dinner.

Bonus: Everything is cooked in one skillet, so there’s only one pan to wash after dinner.

Chipotle chiles give it a hint of smoke and a nice kick.

If you have it, the Parmesan cheese rind adds nuttiness and gives the broth some body.

If you avoid cheese made with rennet, look for vegetarian Parmesan cheese, which is made without it.

Serve with toasted pita brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with dried oregano or za’atar.

The leeks provide a savory allium note while the tomato paste, miso and cumin add bold flavor.

Slow-Cooker Vegetable Stew

Potatoes and beans make this tomato-based crock-pot vegetable stew super-hearty.

A dollop of pesto on top is also super-delicious.

Adding homemade garlic croutons is an easy way to elevate this healthy dinner.
