Simple suppers that are ready in 30 minutes – and so good you’ll want to make them at the weekend too
What makes a midweek meal a midweek meal? The term implies that bandwidth is fairly low, so something pretty straightforward is called for. Anything that takes longer than half an hour to make is out of the question for most people, and no one wants to spend ages on the washing-up. That’s why one-pan dishes are so popular, and why ingredients that hit our midweek comfort needs – pasta or cheese, say – feature so often. At the same time, however, midweek meals aren’t just about instant carbs and melted cheese. More often than not, in fact, much depends on what sort of week you’re having. (Spoiler alert: these dishes work very well at weekends, too.)
