14 Dinner Recipes That Make Delicious Leftovers

Make this at the beginning of the week or weekend, and cut and warm up slices of it next time you're low on time. And if you want to make it a little more filling — or just more protein-rich — add peas or your choice of beans. Recipe here.

Chickpeas, onion, and olives combine to create a savory, filling patty that goes great with a five-minute feta, yogurt, and cucumber sauce, or simply on its own with greens. Recipe here.

Packed with rich tomato flavor and savory vegetables, ratatouille is the perfect healthy recipe that's perfect for serving over and over with different variations on grains, greens, or both. Recipe here.

Refrigerate a large batch, and just pop them in the oven when you want to reheat them. Microwaving is also an option, as long as you're okay with a slightly less crispy texture. Recipe here.

When reheating a recipe that includes a delicate protein like shrimp, transfer each serving to a separate pan instead of reheating the entire batch, since repeated reheats might compromise the shrimp's texture. Recipe here.

You can make this entire meal in a single skillet, so cleanup is easy. And store the leftovers in multiple Tupperware so you're set for lunch the rest of the week. Recipe here.

Whole wheat pasta is firmer to the bite than traditional pasta, pairs great with sweet vegetables like carrots and red onion, and most importantly, keeps really well. And FYI, you can sub the homemade pesto for the store-bought stuff if you want to save time. Recipe here.

A small change — like swapping meat for vegetables — can make a meal taste delicious and not overly rich, even if you're having it every night of the week. And feel free to use a glass pan instead of an aluminum one if you prefer; it won't change the result. Recipe here.
