Skillet Lasagna

View Recipe

"I have to say, I was really skeptical of the idea of a stovetop lasagna, but after making this on a weeknight I may never go back to cooking lasagna in the oven. This is a one-pot pasta recipe, so the noodles cook in the marinara, which gives them lots of flavor. And it was ready in less than 45 minutes with very few dishes! As the recipe says, you do need to keep stirring to prevent the noodles from sticking. I used a fork to ease some of the stuck ones apart and that worked great." —Penelope Wall, senior editorial director

Vegetable Weight-Loss Soup

View Recipe

"This is probably my favorite veggie soup on the site. It's great for those cold winter weeks where I want something healthy and cozy for dinner or to have for the week for lunch. If I'm making it for lunches, I just barely cook the veggies so that they don't get too soft when reheating. It always amazes me how flavorful the broth is in this recipe—those veggies infuse some yummy flavor. And I love the addition of the pesto and Parmesan for serving." —Victoria Seaver, associate editorial director

Sheet-Pan Sausage & Peppers

"I was really surprised by how flavorful this was, even without the basil and Parm. I skipped those because we didn't have any, but didn't really miss them. This would be really good on a hoagie roll too with some mustard. Yum." —Penelope Wall, senior editorial director
