Favourite lazy arse dinners

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?

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

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.

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

Can’t go wrong with beans on toast.

@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)

HeyItsPickleRick · 06/07/2025 20:56

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.

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

Bag salad and air fryer salt and pepper squid, dollop of mayo on the side

rightoguvnor · 06/07/2025 20:58

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.

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

Pre-cooked salmon fillet and bagged lettuce in a wrap. Had it tonight!
