Favourite lazy arse dinners

[Spudthespanner]

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?

Oh good thinking, does pesto freeze ok?

A glass of wine

Mama Thai pot noodle flavouring in with some extra red curry paste, fish balls, coconut milk, five min the. veg, five min then the noodle, coriander.

or handfuls of cereal like a pony

Black pudding slices cooked in the air fryer. Spread them on to toast then top with curried mackerel, straight from the peelable tin. Delectable. Once you get over seeing it for the first time and thinking what in the fk is this medley.

Toast. Toast and marmite, jam, sandwich spread, cheese on toast, egg on toast. If I’m feeling like pushing the boat out, jacket potato with cheese and beans.

Fried rice, yum

Ooo, I'll definitely try your version! Thank you.

Beans on toast.
Those pasta bags that take 3 mins to boil.
A kiddie meal: chicken dippers, beans, oven chips.

I also love pasta, ketchup, and cheese, and eat it when I'm ill. It comforts me, idk why 😂

When I was single, I sometimes had a tin of ravioli with buttered toast and parmesan! Sometimes I just had a stiff gin!

Nowadays - a bag of caesar salad, sundried tomatoes, shredded chicken and nice garlic bread, or

Bag of herby leaves with some chopped cucumber and cherry tomatoes, with smoked salmon and micro new potatoes.

Freezing pesto! 😮 I’ve never thought of this. The amount of half jars of pesto I bin 😬 I always thought the jars should be half the size

Beans on toast or baked potato and cheese. I could eat those all the time. If feeling depressed or anxious a chocolate muffin and a yoghurt.

Peppered mackerel, packet microwave rice. Cabbage stir fried with coriander seeds, cumin seeds and chilli. Takes 5 minutes

Me too, game changer if it does.

We do this my DC call them pizza pockets! Tomato puree one side, grated cheese (from a bag of course) and add toppings; ham, mushrooms, pepper, pepperoni, whatever you fancy. Fold in half, use a frying pan and cook both sides. Like a calzone. My eldest will make them for everyone while I fry them! Great for school holidays lunches too 🙌🏻

Cheese & crackers or marmite on toast- ultimately lazy dinner not cooking anything.

Are you me, that’s all I’m eating at the moment!

Scour the freezer for all the bits and bobs of beige crap and bung it in the air fryer.

AKA Iceland Tapas.

Also, not buying the OP as a "lazy" dinner. Was clearly fishing for compliments and superiority.

Frozen peas in the microwave

Sausages from the air fryer.

Two Magnum Billionaires or star chasers - not even joking (although I’m on Mounjaro now so it’s now a high protein yoghurt!)

Pot noodle

Frozen crispy chicken with a salad. Or plastic cheese slices on toast like a sandwich 😬

I’d have toasted crumpets with marmite if it was just me. Or an air fryer cheese and chilli crisp toastie. Otherwise M&S slow cooked chilli done on the hob with either microwave rice or garlic bread in the air fryer with a dollop of soured cream and chopped jalapeños on top or carbonara which takes as long as boiling the spaghetti.

Cereal with skimmed milk and pumpkin seeds.

Buckwheat noodles with garlic and mushrooms.
