One-Pan Creamy Parmesan Chicken and Vegetables
This one-pan creamy Parmesan chicken and vegetables dish is a colorful skillet meal and a great way to add some vegetables to your family's diet. It's also a great way to use any small amounts of fresh produce on hand. Serve with pasta or rice, if you prefer. Add a simple green salad and some bread for a complete and tasty dinner.
Grilled Tuna
There's nothing quite like grilled tuna to please fish lovers! Tuna is available most of the year, so fresh steaks should be easy to come by. Simply marinate briefly in olive oil to keep the fish moist as it cooks on the grill and avoid overcooking — timing is critical, as tuna tastes best served medium rare.
Chef John's Potato Gnocchi
When I found one lone russet potato at the bottom of the bin, I decided to make a small batch of gnocchi — the perfect thing to do with one potato. I like a very potato-y gnocchi, so I go with just enough flour to form the dough. Other people prefer a denser, more pasta-like dumpling and use much more flour. I know many of you hate it when I say this, but you'll just have to figure it out as you go. Makes two main courses or four appetizer servings.
