Help i need a quick and easy recipe any advice?

Help im making some dinner for my family and i dont know what to cook i need something quick and easy plz help!!Help i need a quick and easy recipe any advice?
Pasta is always the easiest since you're just boiling the pasta and throwing in a heated sauce. Add some bread and you've got a meal.





But if you're looking for other ideas, this website is all about recipes you can prepare in only 10 minutes.Help i need a quick and easy recipe any advice?
stick a chicken in the oven, with some salt, pepper and whatever else you have - garlic, lemon juice, chilli, herbs, inside it. Cook at 190 degrees for about an hour and a half and leave to stand whilst you prepare a salad and cut up some French bread.
bean rice with beef, and smoe bread or some spaghetti with meatballs, or grilled chicken with white rice.


if that does not work for then Good luck, sorry if they don't work ok.
Cut up a few rashers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, peppers, garlic and anything else you fancy stir fry all together and serve with pasta its lovely and tasty.
Pasta is always a people pleaser and satisfying.


Jar sauce is always great in a pinch. Brown some ground beef and add it. The pasta should only take about 10-12 minutes to cook. Serve with bread and salad.
if it's informal have a taco night/quesadilla night...it's fun, everyone makes their own, prep time and clean up is easy serve with southwestern vegetables (can be found in freezer section)
My standard is quick, easy, and healthy besides. I start with chicken broth, put in some garlic and spices (which ones depends on what else I put in, but red pepper flakes are good if you like things spicy, or I use other things as I'll mention in a second. I chop up some vegetables (or you can shake frozen ones in) - whatever you like, the quicker-cooking the better and add some kind of cooked meat to the mix. Then I cook it until the rice is done. For a change of pace, I've substitutes small pasta shapes (like orzo or small shells) and cooked them separately, then removed most of the cooking liquid and put in the rest to finish.





I most commonly use cooked chicken and broccoli florets, but I have done this with shrimp and asparagus (tarragon is good as a spice for something delicate like this), canned salmon and cabbage (caraway seeds make it seem Scandinavian), or whatever else I have lying around. I've also done a vegetarian-style where I leave out the meat, use spinach as the vegetable, and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and almonds at the end. The entire meal takes 10-15 minutes, and I can make a salad while it cooks.
BUY CHICKEN BREASTS AND ROAST IN OVEN. WHEN COOKED, POUR OVER TWO TINS OF CHOPPED TOMATOES AND SPRINKLE SOME BASIL. COVER ROASTING DISH WITH FOIL AND PUT IN BOTTOM OF OVEN. THEN PUT ON NEW POTATOES AND A SELECTION OF VEG. BY THE TIME THAT LOT IS COOKED THE CHICKEN WILL BE READY. DISH UP AND ENJOY! IF YOU'RE A VEGGIE, THEN I SUGGEST A VEG LASAGNE WITH SALAD. IF DOING THE CHICKEN, THEN ONE BREAST PER PERSON IS ENOUGH. GOOD LUCK!
tuna pasta bake or just tuna pasta with garlic bread





you can get a tuna pasta bake sauce from asda or other supermarket, make sure its colmans - just add pasta and tuna!!





i usually add a lot of cheese on both dishes and a bit of black pepper - its the easiest and cheapest dish to make! Enjoy :)

ingredients:





any type of short pasta


the reddest tomatoes you can find


the freshest basil leaves

extra virgin olive oil


salt and pepper to taste


garlic





instructions:





cook pasta according to package directions, let it cool when you think its done





while the pasta is boiling, prepare a bowl, put in olive oil, pitted garlic without the skin, shredded basil leaves (use hands to shred them, not a knife)cubed tomatoes and mozzarella, season with salt and pepper to your liking. when you think that the pasta is cold enough, mix them with the pre-prepared ingredients and serve.





tip:





the amount of olive oil should be generous enough so that the the pasta won't be too dry.

enjoy
Tostadas





hard corn tortillas


can of refried beans


jar of salsa


bag of mexican cheese

This is my favorite quickie meal, and if you use foil over a cookie sheet, there is virtually no ';clean-up'; either!
Take a flour tortillia, spread mayo on it, then a slice of bolonga or turkey, add some shredded cheese, and top it with a pickle, roll it up and voila
Steak Sandwich





1 large strip, round, or shell sirloin steak, weighing between 12 ounces and 1 pound





1/2 t. coarsely ground black pepper





Salt to taste





2-3 T. oil





2 T. chopped onion





4 oz. crimini mushrooms, cleaned and chopped





1/2 t. thyme





1 loaf French or Italian bread, or 1 Vienna loaf





3-4 T. prepared mustard





Trim any excess fat from the steak. Sprinkle both sides with pepper and salt, then brush with a tablespoon of the oil. Heat a cast-iron or nonstick pan and sear the steak about 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan. Cook the onion for 2 minutes in the remaining oil, then add the chopped mushrooms, sprinkling them with the thyme and a little salt. Cook, stirring, until they have softened. If the mixture dries out, add a tablespoon or so of water.





Cut a large piece of bread about 1 inch longer than the steak. (If you're using a Vienna loaf, you may not need to cut it at all.) Slice it lengthwise through the middle, leaving an uncut edge as a hinge. Spread both cut sides of the bread liberally with mustard. Now place the steak on the bottom half and scatter the mushroom mixture on top. Fold the top half of the bread down. Wrap the sandwich in two layers of plastic wrap. Take a long piece of string and tie the sandwich up tightly as if it were a parcel, knotting the string in several places. Put the sandwich on a plate and place another plate on top of it. Now weight it down with either cans of food or a bowl filled with water. Leave it for 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator or other cold place. When you rescue it from the weights, it will be firm and flat. For serving, unwrap it and slice it on the diagonal so you have several strips, each about 3/4 to 1 inch wide. Arrange these on a platter with a bowl of relish or chutney to accompany them

Huge bowl of pasta, cook al dente then toss in olive oil to prevent it from sticking. Do two sauces for it so that they can choose (tomato and cheese, garlic %26amp; cream) do a big bowl of salad and some garlic bread (a large baguette, sliced into rings then spread with garlic butter - 5 mins hot oven)


They all help themselves, its easy to do a crowd pleaser and easy to serve all at once so you dont have to mess about with courses and stuff!

Buy boneless skinless chicken (about 2 lbs), put it in a pot of 4 cups of boiling water, 1 bay leaf, salt to taste, diced carrots, cubed potatoes, diced celery, 2 cloves of garlic, 2 cups of shredded cabbage and 1/2 cup of minced fresh cilantro. Simmer for about 40 mins. Garnish with diced avocado.


Enjoy!

Cheap Fast and Easy
A favourite of mine is:





Garlic butter (can buy this in a stick form pre-mixed)


Raw Shrimp (Peeled and De-veined)


5 minute rice.





In pan melt butter (Med - High), while butter is melting (don't burn) thaw the shrimp (if frozen) in microwave (don't cook!).





Rinse Shrimp, pat dry with paper towel. Put in pan with butter. Cook rice according to instructions. ( 5 min approx) . Flip shrimp to cook until opaque and pink. (5-6 min.)





Serve rice in bowl, with shrimp and butter sauce over top. Exact proportions are up to you..





Total time approx 10 min.
