Favourite lazy arse dinners

343 replies

As per title. Tonight I have a plate of pasta (fusilli) with butter melted through and cheddar cheese on top. Teaspoon of lazy garlic mixed through with the butter. When I’m being less disgusting I melt butter and a little garlic into the fusilli, add tuna or chicken and basil, and squeeze a lemon over. But the ultimate lazy dinner is literally a heap of pasta covered in cheese.

What are your ultimate lazy arse dinners?

unhealthy - biscuits and cheese
Slightly more healthy - bag of salad topped with something beige from the freezer air fryed.

A slice of processed cheese on toast with hot baked beans on top (as opposed to cold).
if feeling fancy, maybe a fried egg on top.

A sschet of microwave rice with a pot noodle on top.

Lazy? Cereal. Maybe toast. Pasta is too much effort!

You beat me! Yes a massive bowl of Frosties. Like a salad bowl size.

Last night I ate two rice cakes, a small bit of cheese and a protein bar with a glass of wine 😬

Otherwise…beans on toast. My favourite fancier one is spaghetti, truffle oil and plenty of salt and pepper - nothing else.

Pasta and sauce

@Spudthespanner I take your plate of cheesy pasta and I raise you the same dish but with a spoonful of marmite stirred in.👌👌(and some frozen peas if I'm feeling energetic)

Pitta bread in toaster with a slice of pre-sliced cheddar put in to melt.

Slab of chocolate and a packet of crisps 😂

AtIusvue · 06/07/2025 20:52

Toast, butter with fresh salsa dip heaped on top….lazy bruschetta

AbzMoz · 06/07/2025 20:52

Left to my own devices I’m absolutely just going to drop a (airfryered) Kiev or chicken strips on top of a bag salad and drizzle mayo (ideally kewpie) over the top.

Crisp sandwich
