February 17 to 21, 2025: Budget Recipes to Cook This Week

What’s on the menu for the week ahead? Make everyone around the table happy with our selection of five quick, tasty and budget-friendly dishes, including tofu in a peanut sauce, a spicy pasta and pork dish, and more!

Monday: Tofu with Peanut Sauce

Peanut chicken takes on a vegetarian twist in this skillet tofu recipe. We promise you’ll simply fall for the creamy peanut sauce that coats the tofu. It’s a tasty dish that fires on all cylinders.

Tuesday: Spaghetti with Spicy Pork and Anchovy Ragù

Got anchovy fillets sitting patiently in the refrigerator? Use a generous quantity to flavour ground pork with their salty, concentrated taste. Add garlic, tomato paste, cream and Parmesan, and you’ve got a pasta dish that’s wonderfully comforting.

Wednesday: Chicken, Leek and Cheddar Soup

This soup is easy to make and very creamy thanks to potatoes, cream and cheddar cheese, which melts into the hot broth. Add cooked chicken and spinach to make it filling, and then garnish with grated cheese and herbs before serving.

Thursday: Sheet-Pan Trout with Mango Salad

Looking for a dish that can be made in just a few steps? Cook the trout on a sheet pan along with snow peas, and then add the latter to a salad that consists of mango, basil and avocado. Serve with a mayonnaise and maple syrup dressing, and you’re in for a delicious evening!

Friday: Beef and Bell Pepper Pita Pizzas

Grab a few Greek-style pitas and whip up some tasty pizzas tonight. Brush them with spicy garlic oil, warm them, and then spread on some lemony Greek yogurt, followed by the seasoned beef and diced bell pepper topping. Don’t worry: the bread is thick enough to hold all this deliciousness!
