White beans are one of the most versatile canned ingredients in the kitchen. Easily dressed up and perfect for a fast pantry dinner and it only cost around $10 for the whole meal.
This recipe calls for a few odds and ends that you may not have in your kitchen, leave them out! It’ll be better with them, but still a decent dinner without them.
This dish is super versatile. Mix up the meatballs for meatball subs, or spaghetti. Make them tiny for soup, or giant for whatever reasons. Paired with the rigatoni and a bright and spicy sauce, this is sure to be a family favorite.
This quick and delicious curry is a wonderful introduction to Indian food. With a spicy and fragrant sauce, and a variety of textures, this is bound to excite everyone at the dinner table. Don’t worry if you’re not a spice fan, take a quick dip in the raita for a cool relief.
Serve with a fresh roti or naan or add in a quick-dish of Saag Paneer or vegetable Korma if serving a crowd.
Don’t let the sardines in this dish scare you! Sardines lend a great umami flavor to this deep meaty dish. A welcome reprieve from the traditional Sunday sauce.
This is my absolute favorite dish in the entire world. It’s phenomenal hot off the oven, and even better reheated after a few days in the fridge.

Some notes from the kitchen:
Don’t be afraid of the MSG! It’s a flavor booster that’s going to help keep the sodium low in an already hearty dish.
Adding the noodles to the sauce is going to help finish cooking the noodles and help thicken the sauce. Don’t skip this step.
We don’t have pictures for this one, because it’s so good that we never remember!
This quick low-calorie meal makes use of pantry staples and can be ready with little fuss. A chopped onion, a shredded cabbage, and some tinned tomatoes and you’re ready to eat!
I’ve not included a picture as it is not photogenic by any means. Serve with buttered dinner rolls and finish with a flaky salt or go heavier with the seasonings throughout.
Great with Beef, but enjoyable with pork, chicken, and shrimps. This is a favorite around our table and is a welcome detour from soups when cool weather comes around. This can be easily adapted for pressure pots, and modifications are included inline for doing so.
