Easy dinner recipes and ideas
Make satisfying meals with 100+ quick and easy dinner recipe ideas. Get out of a midweek dinner rut with fresh ideas for pasta, rice, speedy chicken suppers, quick fish dishes and plenty of meat-free ideas. When dinner is needed fast, these are the recipes you need in your repertoire.
Favourites of ours include our ever-popular saucy romesco chicken (try it!). There’s oozing orzo carbonara, and a satisfying lamb meatball traybake too. Whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find something to enjoy.
These easy dinner recipes are good value. We love them because they’re purse-friendly and so simple to make. Think thrifty cuts like chicken thighs, meatballs and sausages, where a little meat goes a long way. And simple doesn’t need to mean boring. Our super orzo carbonara, miso-roast chicken thighs and quick spinach and egg pizzas are proof of that. Have a browse and select a few new meals to cook this week, you’ll be glad you changed things up on your menu, we promise.
If your party is small, check out our dinner ideas for two. Having guests over? Take a look at our easy dinner party mains too, for something a bit more special but still stress-free to serve up.
