One-Pot Dinner Recipes You Can Make in 30 Minutes or Less These recipes will help you get a weeknight meal on the table in minutes. Close Credit: Armando Rafael The allure of a one-pot recipe is strong. It's hard to argue with a dinner that is hearty, filling, and satisfying without the addition of any side dishes. Of course, practically any meal could be rounded out with a salad and a loaf of bread, but on nights when you don't have the time or energy to expend, any one of these meals will do the trick and then some. Most of our one-pot dinner recipes include protein, vegetables, and starch, and all of them can stand on their own as a complete meal. Here are the streamlined weeknight dinner recipes you love, just faster than you thought possible! We're sharing our favorite 30-minute one-pot meals that you can make quickly—and the best part? They're easy and delicious enough to please everybody's palate. 21 Sheet-Pan Dinners That Make Weeknights Easy and Delicious 01 of 14 Fish Stew With Herbed Toasts Credit: James Ransom Quick-cooking and mild-tasting cod stars in this tomatoey fish stew. Just before serving, you spread baguette slices with butter, sprinkle them with minced shallot and thyme leaves, place them atop the fish, and broil for a few minutes. The toasty bread becomes a wonderful tool for soaking up the delicious broth.

You cook the pasta in a large, straight-sided skillet or stockpot in a combination of broth and water that doesn't need to be drained once the pasta is al dente. Once the pasta is cooked, add the rest of the ingredients in that same pot.
