Summer Express: 101 Simple Meals Ready in 10 Minutes or Less

Mark Bittman of the New York Times is brillant. Just what I've been looking for some FAST, EASY Ideas for Meals. Here is his article, Summer Express: 101 Simple Meals Ready in 10 Minutes or Less . Some of the ideas that caught my attention,

#14 Put a few slices of chopped prosciutto in a skillet with olive oil, a couple of cloves of crushed garlic and a bit of butter; a minute later, toss in about half a cup bread crumbs and red chili flakes to taste. Serve over pasta with chopped parsley.

#28 New Joe’s Special, from San Francisco: Brown ground meat with minced garlic and chopped onion. When just about cooked, add chopped spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted. At the last minute, stir in two eggs, along with grated Parmesan and salt and pepper.

#76 Make a thin plain omelet with two or three eggs. Sauté cubes of bacon or pancetta or strips of prosciutto until crisp. Cut up the omelet and use it and the meat to garnish a green salad dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
