Serve over pasta or whole grains to soak up the delicious sauce. 04 of 28 Skillet Lasagna View Recipe William Dickey This skillet lasagna takes the hard work of layering the noodles, filling and cheese out of the picture and turns lasagna into a super-easy weeknight meal. 05 of 28 Garlic Butter-Roasted Salmon with Potatoes & Asparagus View Recipe This one-pan salmon and potatoes recipe makes a healthy and satisfying weeknight dinner. Melted garlic butter coats the salmon and vegetables, adding depth of flavor and richness to the dish. 06 of 28 Linguine with Creamy Mushroom Sauce View Recipe This easy pasta recipe is an excuse to buy wild mushrooms, available at many grocery stores these days. Or if you prefer white buttons, those will work well too. The creamy linguine is ready in 40 minutes, so it's quick enough for an easy weeknight recipe but it feels fancy enough for entertaining. 07 of 28 Roasted Chicken Thighs, Potatoes & Scallions with Herb Vinaigrette View Recipe Roasting chicken thighs directly on top of the vegetables bastes the scallions and potatoes with delicious drippings in this healthy dinner recipe. 08 of 28 Cream of Turkey & Wild Rice Soup View Recipe Got leftover cooked chicken or turkey? Cook up a pot of soup! This low-sodium soup recipe is a healthier twist on a classic creamy turkey and wild rice soup that hails from Minnesota. Serve with a crisp romaine salad and whole-grain bread. 09 of 28 One-Pot Chicken Alfredo View Recipe This creamy, simple chicken Alfredo recipe is incredibly comforting and cheesy from the combination of Parmesan and cream cheese. You'll taste a nice pop of pepper and nutty notes from the whole-wheat pasta, too. Plus, it's a one-pot meal, which means less cleaning for you and a dish that will quickly become your best chicken Alfredo recipe. 10 of 28 Beef Stir-Fry with Baby Bok Choy & Ginger View Recipe All the ingredients for this easy beef stir-fry recipe are cooked in one wok (or skillet), so not only is the meal-prep fast for this healthy dinner, cleanup is quick too. Look for Lee Kum Kee Premium oyster-flavored sauce in the Asian-foods aisle of your grocery store. It has the most concentrated oyster flavor. 11 of 28 Butternut Squash & Black Bean Enchiladas View Recipe Greg DuPree A crisp, citrusy slaw contrasts nicely with the enchiladas' creamy squash filling. 12 of 28 Easy Salmon Cakes View Recipe These healthy salmon cakes are a delicious way to boost your intake of omega-3s.

The tangy dill sauce provides a tart balance to these easy salmon patties. 13 of 28 Cumin Chicken & Chickpea Stew View Recipe This quick, protein-rich chicken stew recipe draws flavor inspiration from shawarma with spices like cumin, paprika and pepper. Make a double batch and freeze it for a quick healthy dinner. Serve the stew with couscous and steamed broccoli. 14 of 28 Mom's Minestrone View Recipe Kristin Teig This is less a soup than it is an Italian-American vegetable stew, great on its own but most often eaten more like a vegetable stroganoff or Bolognese, coating the pasta with its thick, rustic, vegetable-and-bean gravy, and finished in the bowl with fresh basil and a dusting of Parmesan and drizzle of olive oil. 15 of 28 Chicken Parmesan & Quinoa Stuffed Peppers View Recipe Chicken Parm gets a fun low-carb and gluten-free twist with these cheesy stuffed peppers with chicken and quinoa. Serve with a salad for a healthy dinner that's easy to prep too. 16 of 28 Air-Fryer Lemony Lamb Chops with Fennel & Olives View Recipe Photographer: Kelsey Hansen, Food Stylist: Sammy Mila Lamb chops turn tender and juicy in the air fryer alongside potatoes and fennel in this impressive main dish.

Look for dried corona beans, a larger, creamy white bean, at natural-foods stores or online. Cannellini are a good substitute. Serve with a green salad and toasted baguette. 18 of 28 Smoky Collards & Shrimp with Cheesy Grits View Recipe Jacob Fox Be sure to slice the collards extra thin; it will help expedite the cooking process and produce the most tender greens. 19 of 28 Crispy Rice Bowls with Fried Eggs View Recipe Leigh Beisch We topped this rice bowl recipe with avocado, carrot, radishes and spinach along with eggs, but whatever vegetables you prefer will be just as delicious. 20 of 28 25-Minute Chicken & Veggie Enchiladas View Recipe Jennifer Causey These chicken enchiladas are great for using up any veggies you have lingering in your fridge. Our chicken enchilada recipe calls for zucchini, squash and onion, but you could easily swap in spinach, onions or potatoes. 21 of 28 Creamy Spinach Pasta View Recipe This might be one of the creamiest light pasta dishes you've ever had! The mascarpone cheese adds a richness to the spinach pasta that's unexpected—especially in a healthy pasta recipe. 22 of 28 Black Bean-Cauliflower "Rice" Bowl View Recipe This aromatic cauliflower rice bowl comes together in minutes and is a simple meal for one. Using frozen riced cauliflower instead of rice keeps the carbs in check--and makes for quicker prep. 23 of 28 Chicken Thighs with Couscous & Kale View Recipe One-pot meals, like this all-in-one chicken thigh, kale and Israeli couscous recipe, are perfect for nights when you want to keep cleanup to a minimum.

Be sure to rinse the spaghetti until it's cold, then give it a good shake in the colander until it's well drained. Are you a spiralizing pro? Swap 5 cups of raw zucchini, carrot or other veggie "noodles" for the cooked pasta. 27 of 28 Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers View Recipe Mounding a classic Philly cheesesteak mixture in a colorful bell pepper and melting cheese on top is an easy way to skip the bread and cut the carbs. 28 of 28 Black Bean-Quinoa Bowl View Recipe This black bean and quinoa bowl has many of the usual hallmarks of a taco salad, minus the fried bowl.
