Melissa Hemsley, a healthy-eating expert, has shared eight quick and nutritious recipes perfect for busy weeknights. The recipes focus on using fresh ingredients and simple techniques to create flavourful meals in minimal time.
One standout recipe is a courgette and tuna pasta, where the sauce comes together while the spaghetti cooks. The dish uses olive oil for frying garlic and chilli, with courgette, tuna, and rocket added for a wholesome finish. Another recipe elevates cheese on toast by topping it with halloumi, hot honey, and chilli flakes, baked until golden.
For a taste of Greece, Hemsley offers a feta salad and chips alternative, using roasted potatoes with oregano and a mixed tomato and pepper salad. A super-speedy traybake features salmon with broccoli and a ginger spring onion drizzle, roasting in under 30 minutes. Gnocchi is also highlighted as a versatile base, roasted with courgette and served with pesto.
These recipes are designed to be both time-efficient and packed with goodness, making them ideal for midweek dinners when time is short.
