Don’t reach for the takeout app… Rather try these three easy weeknight dinners designed to save you time without skimming on the flavour.

Feeling guilty about all the dinners you buy for your family? Here are some home-made alternatives that you can whip up in no time.

One-Pot Chicken Alfredo

According to Delish, it's the classic pseudo-Italian pasta people just can't seem to get enough of. Of course there are tons of jarred pasta sauces you can buy, but making alfredo sauce from scratch is actually so easy.

This is a great base recipe for all your one-pot pasta needs.

If you have any leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Gnocchi Skillet with Sausage & Tomatoes

Late nights call for easy food that is also fresh and vibrant, abundant with tomatoes, herbs, and other garden booty.

According to The Kitchn, this skillet dish can be made in 15 minutes with just a handful of ingredients, but one “that tastes like summer in the mouth”.

Gnocchi, blistered cherry tomatoes, sausage, and a handful of basil — is all you’ll basically need.
