One dish dinners.
They scream simplicity. They scream ease. And they scream quick.
5 ingredients. Most of which you likely already have in your pantry and freezer.
20-ish minutes. Or however long it takes you to cook the spaghetti and then toss it with the other ingredients.
You could serve it with a side of bread, or simple side salad – but it really doesn’t need it!
