The fast & the freezable: 10 easy recipes you can prep ahead The fast & the freezable: 10 easy recipes you can prep ahead

Freeze: For a freezer meal, this quiche is seriously classy. Keep it that way by reheating in the oven, not the microwave, to maintain the flaky pastry base.

Fast: Ahh stir-fry, the perennial savior of busy people. This noodle dish is fast, but even quicker if you make the sauce the night before and keep it in the fridge.

Freeze: Know you're going to be busy over the next few weeks? Stash frozen peas and broad beans in your freezer, cook the pasta and you'll have a nutritious dinner within 20 minutes.

Fast: Just because it's fast and easy doesn't mean it has to be boring. Dan's 10-minute salmon tacos are a Centr favorite for a reason (lots of reasons).

Freeze: You don't have time to cook, but you do have time to grab a baguette on the way home. Then defrost this hearty stew and boom – instant dinner.

Fast: Filling without being heavy, this is one of our fast favorites. You can pre-cook the beef, but it only takes 5 minutes to brown!

Freeze: Make Darren's smash hit pesto sauce. Freeze it. A couple of minutes to cook up the pasta and dinner is served!

Fast: Dinner assemble! This recipe is as simple as throwing your favorite veg into a wrap and frying an egg. And you know how to fry an egg, right? Great. Job done.

Freeze: Freeze (for up to two months) and break freezer seal in case of comfort food emergency! This spicy curry is a guaranteed tummy-warmer.

Freeze: Delicious lamb, in burger form. Waiting for you in your freezer. If it's not salad weather, pair it with some steamed veg instead.
