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 al Limone Lemon zest and juice perk up this classic buttery and cheesy pasta dish. The secret lies in emulsifying the sauce to a satiny consistency using the starchy pasta water, not cream.   TUESDAY Pressure Cooker French Onion Soup Traditional techniques for caramelizing onions can take hours to deliver extra-sweet, complex flavor. The pressure cooker reduces that time down to about 30 minutes of hands-off cooking.  WEDNESDAY Fried Rice With Blistered Green Beans and Basil Get your mid-week greens in with this easy fried rice—over and done with in fifteen minutes flat, because we know how busy you are. THURSDAY Creamy Risotto alla Milanese Saffron-scented risotto alla milanese is one of the most luxurious—and simplest—of risottos. This tradition-busting method guarantees the creamiest, silkiest, most delicious version possible. FRIDAY Takeout-Style Kung Pao Chicken (Diced Chicken With Peppers and Peanuts) Just because it's a Chinese-American standard, complete with slightly-gloppy-sauce and mild heat doesn't make diced chicken with peppers and peanuts any less delicious.     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.  Homemade Ramen Noodles Making good ramen noodles at home is a simple process, so long as you have a few key ingredients and a decent amount of time. In total, it takes 24 hours—so gather your ingredients tonight, prep the noodles tomorrow, then make our new pressure cooker chintan shoyu broth for Sunday supper.     Serious Eats 88 35th St Ste 602 Brooklyn, NY 11232-2017 Click Preferences to control which emails you receive from Serious Eats.
