This month, we were all about staying warm in the cold weather with cozy soups, simple one-pot meals and plenty of delicious veggies. There’s something for everyone in this mix of dinners, whether you’re in the mood for a flavorful stew or a creamy bowl of pasta. It’s no surprise that recipes like our Mushroom Orzo with Lemon & Parmesan and Creamy Roasted Cauliflower Soup were the ones readers clicked on most in January.
01of 20Chicken & Spinach Skillet Pasta with Lemon & ParmesanView RecipeThis one-pan pasta that combines lean chicken breast and sautéed spinach for a one-bowl meal is garlicky, lemony and best served with a little Parm on top. I call it “Mom’s Skillet Pasta” and she called it “Devon’s Favorite Pasta.” Either way it’s a quick and easy weeknight dinner we created together and scribbled on a little recipe card more than a decade ago, and it remains in my weekly dinner rotation to this day. It’s a simple dinner the whole family will love.
