Wondering what to make for dinner? Need some inspiration? Here’s our list of suggestions: dinner recipes that take less than an hour of mostly hands-off time. Yes, there will be pasta (or noodles!) and, yes, it will be delicious. We’ll be here every Friday with five weeknight dinners, including recipes, shopping lists, and everything you need to streamline your week ahead.

The five recipes we’re making for dinner this week are cozy and hearty, which is exactly what we want to eat this time of year. Usually, such comforting meals take time, but not this stellar selection of recipes that average 30 minutes from start to table. They’re all recipes to bookmark and make on repeat.
