Your Next Weeknight Meal Plan (And Weekend Cooking Project!)

What to Cook Next Week No Images? Click here   After a busy day, the last thing you want to do is spend hours in the kitchen pulling dinner together. Luckily, we have a wealth of delicious weeknight meals that will have you in and out of the kitchen in one hour or less. Meet our weekly dinner plan: Five easy dinners for five busy weeknights, all sent in advance so you can get your shopping done ahead of time. Cook along with us!   Your Week Ahead MONDAY Pasta alla Gricia Cure your case of the Mondays with this under-appreciated Roman pasta dish: pasta alla gricia. The simple rigatoni dressed in a silky emulsion of rich guanciale fat and starchy pasta water is minimalist perfection.   TUESDAY Stir-Fried Farro With Garlicky Kale and Poached Egg Tender farro, sautéed kale, and a perfectly poached egg. If that's not a damn good breakfast-for-dinner, we don't know what is. WEDNESDAY Pressure Cooker Chicken, Lentil, and Bacon Stew With Carrots Break out your Instant Pot—we're getting you over that mid-week hump with one of our easiest stews ever. It'll make great leftovers for lunch tomorrow, too. THURSDAY Quick and Easy Skillet Tamale Pie With Brown Butter Cornbread Crust Imagine your favorite chili. Now imagine that chili topped with tender, moist, crisp-edged, buttery cornbread with those chili juices seeping up into it as it bakes in the oven. That's the kind of meal we'd love to come home to after a long day out in the cold. Wouldn't you? FRIDAY Extra-Crispy Bar-Style Tortilla Pizza Bar pies are the pizza for those who love thin crusts, and while making them from scratch is doable, sometimes you just need that pizza NOW. Tortilla-based pizzas are the ideal way to make a super-crisp, extra-thin crust for a full-on pizza experience in under 15 minutes from start to finish.     Your Weekend Project Ah, the weekend. Visions of time-consuming kitchen endeavors dancing in your head all week long, and finally you have the time to pursue them. But which one to choose? Let us help you guide your efforts with what we're taking on over the weekend.  Nutella and Brown Butter Rugelach With Peanuts and Vanilla Glaze Yup, it's Hanukkah next week. And what better way to celebrate than getting your rugelach made and ready for Monday night? We love this nutella and brown butter version, which hints at the most delicious sundaes of your childhood.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
