When you’re tired of cooking, these 10 easy recipes help you get food on the table ASAP - The Washington Post

Silken tofu on rice with a drizzle of soy sauce and chile oil; quesadillas; nubbins of cheese, a stack of crackers and an apple or pear; scrambled eggs on a slice of toast; angel hair pasta tossed with butter and lemon zest; canned tuna forked through with mayonnaise and pickle juice — these are a few of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table in 15 minutes or less.

I dug through our Recipe Finder archives for more ideas, miracle meals that take minutes and feed at least two. They depend on quick-cooking proteins, pantry ingredients, condiments for hits of flavor and basics such as pasta, rice, bread and eggs. Many cook in one pan, and others are assembled in moments, but they're all guaranteed to satisfy.

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas. This riff on fajitas, featuring chicken breasts, onions and bell peppers, comes together in minutes and cooks quickly on a sheet pan. Serve it with steamed tortillas and sour cream.

Creamy Greek Noodle Soup. Here's a creamy soup recipe without any cream in it. This avgolemono gets a head start thanks to premade chicken stock. Onions, carrots and noodles add texture while the signature egg and lemon juice mixture ensures every spoonful is creamy.

Broiled Shrimp With Shaved Zucchini and Pecan Salad. The key element here is the shrimp, which get tossed in a spicy sauce before they're slid under the broiler for a few minutes. Serve them with a pecan-studded shaved vegetable salad, or on a plate next to couscous or arugula dressed in lemon and olive oil for a quicker dinner.

Fast Blender Tomato Soup. Though this soup is creamy, it contains no dairy. Instead, olive oil and bread blend in with garlic, onions and canned tomatoes to make the simplest tomato soup ever.

Grilled Kimcheese. You could make a classic grilled cheese … or you could make a grilled kimcheese. Kimchi adds incredible flavor to this pan-fried sandwich; slices of pear or apple add a touch of sweetness.

Simplest Lentil Curry. Red lentils are the fastest way to dal. They're split, so they cook especially quickly. In this recipe, onion, garlic, ginger and spices give them a richness that's offset by a spoonful of creamy yogurt. Serve it atop steamed rice for a full and fulfilling meal.

Spicy, Smoky Turkey Sandwich. Mash a chipotle into some mayonnaise for a little kick of flavor, then layer on sliced turkey, pepper jack and spinach for a fresh spin on the lunch special.

Mushroom "Risoniotto." Risotto can be incredibly comforting on a cold night, but it can take quite awhile to cook. Use orzo instead for a creamy riff on classic mushroom risotto. Or try this Instant Pot risotto, which needs just 30 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

They're a great way to start the day with a healthy and filling meal, especially if you're always in a hurry. In addition to being nutritious and time saving, they are also completely customizable. Leave out the cheese to ditch the dairy, swap in the family's favorite veggies or add ham or bacon for an extra protein boost.

This delicious dinner recipe from 2016 is the very definition of a one-pot wonder. The main ingredients are pantry and freezer staples, it's family friendly, quick to prepare and keeps cleanup easy. Even though it's a vegetarian dish, it can easily adapt to be vegan-friendly or accommodate meat eaters.

This is Ina Garten's go-to shortbread recipe. "These cookies are the quintessence of shortbread and have been my all-time favorite cookie since the first time I tried one, over fifteen years ago," Garten told TODAY earlier this month.

Bright pink bits of rhubarb peek out from these pretty cookies, which are tangy, tart and lightly sweet all at once. The sour cream adds a smoothness that makes each bite a pleasure.

Singer Patti LaBelle learned this pie recipe from her best friend and hairstylist Norma Gordon Harris. "This sweet potato pie has a thin layer of brown sugar on the bottom crust. This 'black bottom' doesn't just add flavor, it also helps keep the filling from making the crust soggy. The recipe makes a good amount of the delicious filling — this isn't one of those skimpy sweet potato pies. It tastes like sweet potatoes, not pineapple or raisins or other fillers that some people stick in their pies," LaBelle told TODAY back in 2018. Serve slices of this perfect pie as is or with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

9. Rao's Meatballs with Marinara Sauce

If you're looking for a hot and cozy fall recipe, look no further than these amazing meatballs from Rao's restaurant in New York City. Rao's has been serving up authentic Italian food since 1896. They recommend making these mouthwatering meatballs using only the freshest and best quality products. Their secret to a juicy and tender meatball is to bake or fry them and then simmer them for a good, long while in flavorful tomato sauce.

10. Thin-Cut 'Minute' Pork Chops

Calling these "minute" pork chops is only a bit of stretch. Thin-cut chops need to cook for just a couple of minutes on each side. This quick dinner gets its bold taste from a combination of salty soy sauce, rich butter and tangy balsamic vinegar. The flavor trifecta amps up the natural umami essence of the pork and makes it easy to pair with a wide range of sides.
