These delicious dishes take no more than 20 minutes to make, so you'll have dinner on the table in no time. Recipes like our Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach & Feta Penne Pasta and Taco-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are comforting choices well-suited for the chilly month. 01 of 20 15-Minute White Bean, Kale & Kielbasa Soup View Recipe Brie Passano This quick soup recipe is done in only 15 minutes thanks to convenience products like frozen chopped onion and precooked kielbasa. You'll have a warming winter soup on the table in no time! 02 of 20 Roasted Red Pepper, Spinach & Feta Penne Pasta View Recipe In this quick 20-minute dinner recipe, tender penne pasta is combined with garlic, roasted red peppers and spinach and topped with crumbled feta cheese for a fast and easy Mediterranean-inspired meal. This recipe was graciously shared by EatingWell reader Dottie Carpenter, who states, "Recipes are no good if they're not shared!" 03 of 20 Taco-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes View Recipe Take taco night to a new level with sweet potato taco "shells." Tender sweet potatoes pair perfectly with spicy taco meat, creamy cheese and crisp lettuce. Let everyone customize their taco potato with their favorite toppings. 04 of 20 Butternut Squash Ravioli with Chicken Sausage & Kale View Recipe What's the secret to making store-bought butternut squash ravioli even more delicious? Add apple-chicken sausage, tender greens and lots of caramelized onions. We add a bit of sugar to help the onions caramelize faster, but feel free to omit it (just cook the onions a bit longer if you do). Buy prewashed chopped kale to cut down on prep time. It all adds up to an easy dinner that's ready in just 20 minutes. 05 of 20 Crispy Fish Taco Bowls View Recipe The adobo sauce in a can of chipotles lends earthy heat to the crema that tops these bowls. Don't toss out the unused peppers! Freeze them in an airtight container and pull them out to add to sauces, marinades or chili. 06 of 20 Spinach, Lima Bean & Crispy Pancetta Pasta View Recipe We opt for fresh spinach pasta here--it cooks quickly and adds a pop of color. Cooking lima beans in pancetta drippings infuses them with flavor. 07 of 20 Vegan Cauliflower Fried Rice View Recipe Substituting riced cauliflower for rice trims calories and carbs in this veggie-packed dish. Use the vibrant flavors of traditional fried rice--ginger, scallions and tamari--to create a low-carb fried rice version of the classic take-out meal. 08 of 20 Chicken Cutlets with Artichokes & Lemon-Dill Sauce View Recipe You won't want to let a drop of this creamy lemon sauce go to waste. Serve with rice pilaf or roasted potatoes to soak it all up. 09 of 20 Tarragon Scallops on Asparagus Spears View Recipe In this 15-minute recipe, crisp and tender asparagus spears serve as a vibrant base for lemon- and tarragon-flavored sea scallops. 10 of 20 Toaster-Oven Quesadillas View Recipe We love finding new ways to use our kitchen tools and appliances. These toaster-oven quesadillas with peppers and avocado are the perfect example of an unexpected toaster-oven hack we had to share. 11 of 20 Creamy Spinach Pasta View Recipe This might be one of the creamiest light pasta dishes you've ever had! The mascarpone cheese adds a richness to the spinach pasta that's unexpected—especially in a healthy pasta recipe. 12 of 20 Garlic, Sausage & Kale Naan Pizzas View Recipe We love sausage, but it can be high in sodium. In this fast, healthy dinner, we make our own turkey sausage with crushed red pepper, garlic, fennel seeds, paprika and just a touch of salt. 13 of 20 Vegetarian Sushi Grain Bowl View Recipe Skip the hassle of making sushi rolls at home and just go for this grain bowl. Start with a base of brown rice and add veggies, dressing and creamy avocado for a delicious and easy meal. 14 of 20 Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes View Recipe Two of our favorite comfort-food sandwiches join forces in these family-friendly dinner sandwiches. We found that softer buns make this easier to eat, and it's all the better when wrapped takeout-style in a sheet of foil. 15 of 20 Crispy Cod with Charred Snow Peas & Creamy Herb Sauce View Recipe This crispy cod recipe shows you how to make golden fish that's not deep-fried, to put a healthy twist on a classic. Pat it dry and dredge it with a bit of flour before sautéing in a hot pan. 16 of 20 Red Cabbage-Apple Cauliflower Gnocchi View Recipe Tender cabbage and a vibrant applesauce-mustard pan sauce are the perfect pairing for pillowy low-carb cauliflower gnocchi. Add diced chicken-apple sausage for extra protein. 17 of 20 Old Bay Salmon with Lemony Mashed Peas View Recipe Cooking butter until it browns adds a toasty, nutty flavor to this easy skillet salmon recipe. Here it gives Old Bay-rubbed salmon a chef-worthy finish—not bad for 20 minutes! 18 of 20 20-Minute Creamy Mustard Chicken Thighs View Recipe This quick-cooking chicken thigh recipe is perfect for weeknights. A little bit of mustard mixed with a touch of cream creates a luscious sauce for the chicken thighs. 19 of 20 Marinara Meat Sauce Topped Baked Potato View Recipe Break out of your pasta routine by subbing in a baked potato in this simple and satisfying dinner for one. 20 of 20 Chhole (Chickpea Curry) View Recipe This healthy Indian recipe is an authentic chickpea curry that you can make in minutes.
