Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering and chopping your vegetables, measuring out spices, and preparing any proteins. Prepping everything first means the cooking process will be seamless and stress-free.
  2. Heat Your Pan: Warm a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. This is where the magic starts—sautéing garlic or onions to build a fragrant base for your meal.
  3. Cook Proteins and Veggies: Add your chosen proteins and vegetables to the pan, stirring frequently. Cook until proteins are done and vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
  4. Combine with Carbs and Seasonings: Mix in your quick-cooking carbs like pasta or rice and season with herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir well to make sure every bite is flavorful.
  5. Final Touches: Turn off the heat and add any finishing ingredients such as cheese or fresh herbs. Give it a final stir and get ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Prep ahead: Wash and chop veggies in advance to cut down on active cooking time.
  • Use high heat: Cooking on medium-high speeds up the process and adds great texture.
  • Keep it simple: Don’t overcomplicate seasoning—balanced salt and pepper go a long way.
  • Multi-task: While something simmers, prepare your side or clean up to stay efficient.
  • Use fresh herbs last: To keep bright flavors, add fresh herbs at the end of cooking.
