A concise page of non-stock ingredients can be found on the dinner shopping list.
Quick Carbonara. Ragu Roasted Garlic Parmesan plus fresh crumbled bacon turns out to make a rather decent, very easy Carbonara sauce (even Jane likes it). Serve over fettucini.
Broiled Salmon with Teriyaki Sauce. One boneless salmon fillet, about 6-8 oz. per person. Brush with teriyaki sauce and broil about 10 minutes. Serve with Knorr's Mushroom Risotto.
Quick Beef Stroganoff. Superior Touch Mushroom base; 16 oz bag noodles; 1.5 lb. stirfryish beef; an onion; 2 sm. cans sliced mushrooms; 1/2 cup sour cream. Reasonably quick to make and remarkably good. (Much better as stroganoff than bourguignon.)
Chicken Marsala. (America's Test Kitchen) 4 boneless chicken breasts; 2 1/2 oz. pancetta; 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced; 1 1/2 cups sweet Marsala wine.
Black Bean Stir-Fry. Page 160 in High Flavor, Low Fat Cooking. Requires 4+ scallions, 1lb protein unit (fish works), 2-4 cups veggies. Flounder turns into a sort of black bean fish sauce; tasty, but try something with a little more spine. Needs about 1/2 hour prep. Serve with rice.
Ginger and Scallion Stir-Fry. Page 158 in High Flavor, Low Fat. Requires a bunch of scallions, 6" or so of fresh ginger, 2 cups of veggies, and 1 lb. of seafood. Utterly magnificent with scallops; the strong ginger flavor goes perfectly with them.
Spaghetti. The easy and generic, but spiced up with some extra herbs, some sliced-up peppers and/or some portobelli sauteed in garlic can make this more interesting with minimal extra effort.
Grilled Chicken Sandwiches. Quick and easy. Two sandwiches: 5 oz. pre-grilled chicken; fresh bread; 6 oz. brie; lots of fresh basil; thin-sliced tomato. If bread is soft, toast it slightly. Spread brie on; lay on chicken, tomato and basil. Oil (Pam) grill; grill on high until nicely browned.
Catfish Sandwiches. Another quick and easy. Two thin catfish filets, rye bread, maybe some lettuce. Top with something like honey mustard or horseradish.
Tacos. Ground beef or turkey, taco seasoning packet, taco shells, chopped lettuce and ripe tomatoes from the salad bar. Salsa and olives we should have in the pantry.
Stir-Fried Pork with Asparagus and Lemon Grass. (Cook's Illustrated, Feb. '03, pg. 19) 12 oz. pork tenderloin, 1lb. asparagus, 1 onion, preferably some fresh basil. Really quite excellent. Need to semi-freeze the pork for cutting, 45 to 60 minutes. Otherwise, about an hour of prep and cooking.
Cold Cucumber Salad. Peel and thinly slice cucumbers, marinate with rice vinegar and a little sugar. (Jennifer Kobayashi)
Sea Delico Pizza Store bought crust, with garlic, mozzarella, shrimp, "sea legs" etc.
Nutella things. (saw this on some cooking show). 1 pkg. Pepperidge Farm phyllo dough, nutella, powdered sugar. Thaw dough, spread out flat. Make a stripe of Nutella. Fold the dough over ~1 inch, to cover. Cut strip into slices. Bake. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve warm.
