what is an easy meal you can cook in under 30min?

Answer 1

I have used this recipe plenty since I saw it on Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals. I have also given it out to many others who were just as pleased as I was.

Spaghetti and Meatball Stoup-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
1 carrot, peeled and chopped into a small dice
1 medium yellow skinned onion, chopped
2 small ribs celery from the heart, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 cups tomato sauce or 1 (14-ounce) can plus 1 (8-ounce) can
3 cups chicken stock, available in a box on the soup aisle
1 pound ground beef, pork and veal mix (meatloaf mix) available at butcher counter
1/2 cup grated cheese, Parmigiano or Romano, plus more to pass at table
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs, a few handfuls
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1/2 pound spaghetti, broken in half
1 cup basil leaves, torn or shredded
1 loaf Italian crusty bread, for dunking

Preheat a medium soup pot over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, carrots, onions, celery, garlic and saute 5 minutes. Add tomato sauce and stock and cover pot. Turn up heat and bring to a fast boil.
While soup comes to a boil, mix the ground meat with cheese, bread crumbs, egg and parsley. Roll into 1 1/2 to 2-inch balls.

Remove lid from soup and slide balls into soup. Bring back to a boil then stir in spaghetti. Reduce the heat and simmer soup 10 minutes more, until pasta is tender and balls have cooked through. Stir in basil and remove "stoup" from the stove. Serve soup with bread and cheese

Here's one of my own creations:
Crabby Fettucini-
1 pkg crabmeat, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 TBS minced garlic
2 shakes garlic powder
4 TBS butter
3 TBS Italian seasoning, more or less to your liking
1 box fettucini
1 can diced tomatoes

Cook fettucini according to package. Meanwhile saute onion and garlic in 2 TBS butter. Add seasonings and butter and stir. Add crabmeat and stir . Add tomatoes. Cook 5 more minutes to blend flavor. Serve over fettucini and sprinkle with grated parmesan.

I got this out of a magazine and has become a favorite around my house:
Basil Caesar Salmon-
4 salmon fillets
1/4 c caesar dressing
pepper
1 c caesar salad croutons, crushed
1/2 c grated parmesan
2 tsp dried basil
2 TBS Olive Oil

Place salmon in greased pan. Spoon the salad dressing over fillets; sprinkle with pepper. Combine croutons, parmesan and basil. Sprinkle over fillets and gently press into dressing. Drizzle with Oil. Bake uncovered at 350 for 15-20 min.

Quick and yummy. Have fun!
