Pick one

Good foods can be fast, and they can be easy, but they can't be both. If you want good food that's fast, you've got to cultivate your cooking skills. For example, a traditional French omelette is actually extremely quick, and easy really once you have the skills, but it's got a bit of a learning curve in terms of being able to execute it

I don't know where abouts you are, but in the US
>any pasta dish that doesn't use a red sauce (aglio e olio)
>something "fancy" with pork tenderloin (spirals)
>eggs benedict (making hollandase is the only real effort)
>polenta anything
>not as fancy, but you can buy pre-seasoned pork shoulder, throw in a crock pot, fork shred it to get carnitas. I'll buy pre-minced red onion, tomato, cilantro mix in the produce isle and some tortillas and it's "fancier" tacos with almost zero effort on my part.

Roast chicken. Easy as fuck, looks great, tastes great. Make some mashed potatoes and some kind of vegetable side and you're gold. Bake some yeast dinner rolls and you achieve God status.

Whole chicken (don't cheap out), lightly stuff the cavity with maybe celery and shallots, truss the bird, rub with a light coat of olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt ("like a light snowfall"), 400F until the breast meat is at 155 and the thighs are at 425F or whatever desiccated temperature the FDA suggests...

yes, but only until they puke

>>10868156
Do you not? /ck/ is a board for real men. Go back.

>aglio e olio
It's easy, sure, but actually possible to fuck up. You might end up burning the garlic if you're inept and the dish is ruined.
Carbonara can be messed up only by a literal retard.

>>10868156
Not technically. Most American men can only hope to tap the tonsils.

carbonara is perhaps one of the most difficult dishes in all of italian cuisine to get right.

i thought marketing on /ck/ was just a meme

>>10869901
Stop this memeing. Even the amazingly authentic carbonara is piss easy. If you're not making that, a still very palatable one is seriously an un-fuck uppable dish.

WOAH SO DIFFICULT

Risotto is super easy and delicious. Buy a little jar of that chicken broth powder (I think Knorr makes it), rice, some mushrooms, zucchini, onion, garlic, and parmesan. Recipe is super easy and there are thousands online, all you really need is a tall pot.

Buy a rotisserie chicken from Publix or throw some steaks on the grill and wa la

Burning your aromatic is basically the mark of a retard. I mean, if you are just getting started cooking, I can see you fucking that up 2-3 times before you get it, but I would in no way consider that an easy fuck up.

It's the egg that gets most people though. I've seen people who are decent cooks give it a shot for the first time and wind up ruining it by causing the egg to cook because it's too hot.

>>10871381
i like to serve the pasta and then crack an egg into each serving to be stirred in

Making the sugo (italian for bolognese sauce) is pretty easy but it needs a long time to cook and everything else is super easy as well.

>>10873503
sugo just means sauce you fucking dip
americans i fucking swear to god

>>10873579
I just wanted to bait a (you)

Is it that fucking easy?

Chicken florentine is easy. Just noodles, alfredo, spinach, and chicken. You can throw some sundried tomatoes from a jar in too.

>>10868093
I second this. Add a baked potato (wash it, pierce several times, coat in oil, sprinkle salt and pepper and bake) and some fresh steamed or sautéed veggies and you have a nice meal that is pretty easy and relatively quick.

>>10868057
Why not buy a packet mix and make it look homemade (it mostly would be anyway)? You add chicken, cream, tomato sauce, and onion with the packet mix. Real curry is more involved since it requires roasting different ingredients and such to bring out flavors.

It really depends heavily on what equipment you have and how much skill you have. Even just a good set of sharp knives makes a world of difference in how long it will take you to make something.
