Quick and Easy Recipes in Under 30 Minutes

Cooking at home doesn't have to be a time-consuming task. Here are some quick and easy recipes that can be made in under 30 minutes:

1. Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

    * Ingredients:

        * spaghetti

        * garlic

        * olive oil

        * chili flakes

        * salt

        * parsley (optional)

        * lemon wedges (optional)

      Start by boiling the spaghetti according to the package instructions.

      While the pasta is cooking, heat up some olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add finely sliced garlic and chili flakes to the pan, and cook until the garlic is golden brown.

      Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve some of the pasta water before draining it. Then add the spaghetti to the pan with the garlic and chili flakes. Toss everything together, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce cling to the noodles.

        * bread

        * butter

        * cheese (such as cheddar or American)

    * Instructions:

      Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

      Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter. Place one slice of bread, butter-side-down, in the skillet. Top with slices of cheese and another slice of bread, butter-side-up.

      Cook until the bottom slice is golden brown and the cheese has started to melt, then flip and cook until the other side is also golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

      Serve immediately.
