This Mushroom Piccata Pasta Is Perfect for Meatless Mondays

15 New Dinner Recipes You Have to Make in March (1)

In this vegetarian rendition of chicken piccata, a medley of mixed mushrooms steps in as a substitute for chicken, maintaining the zesty caper-infused sauce. The combination of oyster, cremini and shiitake mushrooms adds the most flavor, though you can choose a single mushroom variety if you have a preference. Streamline your prep by opting for pre-sliced mushrooms, a timesaving hack for this flavorful dish.

15 New Dinner Recipes You Have to Make in March (3)

The sauce in this creamy balsamic chicken and mushroom skillet recipe strikes the perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. The shallots, garlic and thyme add aroma and flavor to the dish. Thin-cut chicken cutlets are key for getting dinner on the table quickly. If you can’t find chicken cutlets, make your own: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about 8 ounces each. Slice them in half horizontally and pound to an even thickness.

Huli Huli Cabbage

15 New Dinner Recipes You Have to Make in March (4)

This recipe draws inspiration from huli huli chicken, a Hawaiian dish featuring grilled chicken that’s turned frequently while it’s cooking (“huli” is the Hawaiian word for “turn”) and basted with a sweet and savory sauce. In this vegetarian version, we replace the chicken with cabbage wedges, and while the cabbage is turned only once, the sauce remains similar to its roots.

This kale salad is piled high with roasted butternut squash, red onion and toasty chickpeas. The kale starts to break down as you “massage” it, soaking up the lemony dressing. Za’atar, a Middle Eastern seasoning with dried herbs, sesame seeds and sumac, adds a bright, earthy taste. You can swap it out for chili powder for a slightly different flavor profile.

These baked salmon cakes are super moist and packed with just the right amount of garlic. Brushing just a little oil on top of the patties gives the salmon cakes a brown, crispy crust. For a twist, swap out the salmon for tuna. Serve with your favorite burger or crabcake sides, like tartar sauce, mayonnaise, leafy greens and a sandwich bun, if desired.

Trust Us: These Panko-Crusted Cauliflower Steaks Are Better Than Real Steak

15 New Dinner Recipes You Have to Make in March (9)

In this fork-tender cauliflower recipe, heads of cauliflower are cut into slabs then roasted and topped with a cheesy, crunchy panko topping. Pair cauliflower steaks with roasted or grilled meats, or serve them on their own as a vegetarian main dish. Each head of cauliflower will provide 2 to 3 steaks—the sides tend to crumble. Save leftover cauliflower for roasting another night or give it a whirl in a food processor so you have the fixings for cauliflower rice on hand.

Spinach-Artichoke Egg in a Bagel Hole (Simple Sheet-Pan Dinner)

15 New Dinner Recipes You Have to Make in March (10)

This riff on egg-in-a-hole, where a hole is cut into a slice of bread to hold and cook an egg, uses a bagel instead—so the hole’s already built in. The spinach-and-artichoke dip underneath the egg helps hold it in place and adds a creamy element to this easy breakfast (or breakfast for dinner!).

You’ll Make This Creamy Rotisserie Chicken & Spinach Pasta Again and Again

15 New Dinner Recipes You Have to Make in March (13)

This creamy rotisserie chicken pasta recipe uses Gruyère cheese and cream cheese as the base for the velvety sauce. Gruyère adds a rich and nutty flavor, although you can experiment with alternatives like Cheddar or Swiss cheese. We love the ease of using baby spinach, but feel free to swap it out for another leafy green like kale or Swiss chard if you have them on hand.

The Best Chicken Caesar Salad

15 New Dinner Recipes You Have to Make in March (14)

This timeless chicken Caesar salad features a zesty dressing made with Greek-style yogurt. Our dressing calls for anchovy paste, which adds that signature savory flavor Caesar salad is known for. Any leftover anchovy paste can be used to enhance vinaigrettes, dips or sauces. You can use whole anchovies, if you prefer, but you’ll need to blend them or mash them with the flat side of a large chef’s knife before adding them to the dressing.

15 New Dinner Recipes You Have to Make in March (15)

Enjoy a complete protein-rich dinner cooked on just two baking sheets for easy cleanup with this salmon, roasted tomato and quinoa recipe. Baked quinoa adds texture and crunch to the dish.
