One of the reasons the Mediterranean diet is thought of as one of the healthiest ways of eating is because of how adaptable it is. As long as you are prioritizing whole foods like fruits, legumes, vegetables and whole grains, as well as healthy fats and lean proteins like seafood and poultry, you’re on the right track! This collection is packed with a diverse set of warm, comforting dinners that align with the Mediterranean diet and feature delicious, seasonal ingredients like broccoli, carrots and squash. Plus, they’re super easy and ready in just 20 minutes or less. Recipes like our Chhole (Chickpea Curry) and Mushroom & Tofu Stir-Fry are flavorful meals to help keep you cozy this winter.

:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/5172229-5699e4250e4b408cad15da8cc1249862.jpg)
A little bit of Sunday meal prep goes a long way in this one-dish pasta recipe. The pasta is cooked ahead of time and stored in the fridge to use for meals all week, but any leftover cooked pasta you have on hand will do. Chicken sausage with feta is especially good in this recipe.

:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/6691966-235e96dcfaaf4d098b4d217c4e6b9f73.jpg)
Store-bought spinach ravioli and a handful of basic pantry items are all you need to get a healthy dinner on the table in 15 minutes. Ingredients like oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, briny Kalamata olives and toasty pine nuts help to build big flavor fast. If you can't find frozen artichokes, swap in a 15-ounce can (just be sure to drain and rinse them well).
Garlic, Sausage & Kale Naan Pizzas
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/3759291-9e63bb38e21043c58afdfe6e4bf332d0.jpg)
We love sausage, but it can be high in sodium. In this fast, healthy dinner, we make our own turkey sausage with crushed red pepper, garlic, fennel seeds, paprika and just a touch of salt.
Mushroom & Tofu Stir-Fry
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Mushroom-Tofu-Stir-Fry-f786049bdfe940a1808406af0f2ee2a3.jpg)
This tofu veggie stir-fry is quick and easy, making it a great go-to weeknight meal. Baked tofu has a firm, toothsome texture that crisps well in a hot pan. You can find it in flavors like teriyaki and sesame, both of which are delicious here. Or opt for a smoked version, which has the same texture with a more robust flavor. Serve over brown rice.
Stuffed Sweet Potato with Hummus Dressing

This hearty pasta dish with bright, fresh flavor is ideal for busy weeknights. The Parmesan adds welcome saltiness and notes of umami and you get added texture from the slight crunch of broccoli and whole-wheat noodles. Add some shredded rotisserie chicken, grilled shrimp or crispy chickpeas to punch up the protein.

Red Cabbage-Apple Cauliflower Gnocchi
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/6249494-f661009beb4949b1b9547c7937602c9b.jpg)

Quick Shrimp Puttanesca
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/56918421-2a0541d4ee494b69b69a2b940b7d7dd5.jpg)
Because refrigerated fresh pasta cooks much faster than dried pasta, this Italian-inspired pasta dish will be on the table lickety-split! Puttanesca, traditionally made with tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies and garlic, gets shrimp for extra protein and artichoke hearts to boost the vegetable servings (and the fiber!). If you can't find frozen artichoke hearts, sub in drained canned artichoke hearts.
