ClosePhoto: Caitlin BenselOne pot or pan is all it takes to prepare these healthy, mouthwatering dinner recipes. Balanced with whole grains, legumes, healthy fats and lean protein, these complete meals are well-suited for theMediterranean diet, one of thehealthiest eating patternsaround. Packed with summer produce, you’ll want to make easy recipes like our One-Pot Pasta with Spinach & Tomatoes and Chicken Fajita Stir-Fry all season long.01of 16Chicken Fajita Stir-FryView RecipeJacob FoxA wok makes easy work of chicken and vegetables in this quick variation on fajitas. You can serve this with rice or beans on the side, if desired.02of 16Vegetarian GumboView RecipeThis flavorful vegan dinner is a veggie version of the Louisiana classic. It’s chock-full of butternut squash, tomatoes, poblano peppers and okra, to name just a few. This vegetarian gumbo is a quick dinner packed with flavor and spice that’s done in only 30 minutes. To make it a meal, serve it with cornbread drizzled with olive oil.03of 16One-Pot Pasta With Spinach & TomatoesView RecipeCaitlin BenselThis one-pot pasta dinner is simple, fresh, and healthy—what’s not to love? Cooking the pasta right in the sauce saves time and cleanup while infusing the noodles with more flavor. This speedy recipe is also endlessly adaptable, and lends itself to plenty of easy ingredient swaps (make sure to check out the clever riffs below). Change up the spinach for any vegetables you have on hand such as sliced zucchini and mushrooms, or add leftover chicken or cooked and crumbled sausage. We’ve happily embraced whole-wheat spaghetti as a healthier alternative to white pasta; it works especially well in this one-pot application.04of 16Weeknight Lemon Chicken Skillet DinnerView RecipeJustin WalkerThis one-pan chicken dinner doesn’t get much easier, or more satisfying. In just half an hour, you can have a complete meal on the table that doesn’t require loads of dishes afterwards. We call for tender haricots verts because they’re quick cooking; traditional green beans likely won’t be tender enough after the brief cooking time at the end. If that’s all you have on hand, steam them first, and then add them to the pan for the final step. Serve this hearty chicken and potatoes dinner with a simple side salad to sneak in another serving of veggies.05of 16Summer Skillet Vegetable & Egg ScrambleView RecipeDon’t toss out those almost-past-their-prime vegetables and fresh herbs. Toss them into this skillet egg scramble for a quick vegetarian meal. Nearly any vegetable will work in this easy skillet recipe, so choose your favorites or use what you have on hand.06of 16Easy Tuna Cakes with Greens & Lemon DressingView RecipeAntonis AchilleosDried herbs, white beans and canned tuna come together in these easy tuna cakes served over greens.

Even though it originated with the Minangkabau people in West Sumatra, families throughout the archipelago have their own versions of this richly spiced dish. It’s often made with beef, but this vegetarian version leans into the meaty texture of oyster mushrooms (although you can use whatever mushrooms you can find).
