Need a fast, healthy, and delicious meal?

When you've been running around all day and still have more to do, it's mighty tempting to order pizza instead of cooking a whole meal. But wait! Put down the phone -- this home-cooked Artichoke & Red Pepper Frittata recipe might be quicker and easier than you think.

The key to making a quick dinner is already having the ingredients on hand. In addition to the usual suspects, like dried pasta, rice and canned tomatoes, stock your freezer and pantry with ingredients that will round out a simple dinner without an extra trip to the store.

Jars of roasted red peppers have great flavor and can be used in pasta sauces or frittatas. A can of beans and a carton of vegetable broth are the beginnings of an easy soup. Thin cuts of meat like chicken breast can be frozen and then quickly thawed when you need them.

It's also good to have a few stand-by recipes that you've made before and that never fail to satisfy. Pick ones that are easy to adapt if you don't have the exact ingredients, and keep track of new recipes that might fit the bill.

Most of all, make what you love. Favorite dishes and ingredients you choose yourself will always win out over take-out.

    Prep Time: 15 minutes

    Cook time: 15 minutes

    Yield: Serves 4-6

Artichoke & Red Pepper Frittata Recipe Ingredients

    1 large onion, diced

    1 12-ounce jar marinated artichokes, drained and rinsed

    1 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained, rinsed and diced

    2 cloves garlic, minced

    2 teaspoons dried oregano

    6 eggs, beaten

    1 cup parmesan cheese

    Salt and pepper

Artichoke & Red Pepper Frittata Recipe Directions

    Preheat the oven to 400 F.

    In a 10- or 12-inch nonstick oven-safe skillet (see note), heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt, and cook until the onions are translucent. Then add the artichokes and red peppers, and cook until any excess liquid has evaporated. Stir in the garlic and oregano, and cook just until fragrant.

    Whisk half the parmesan into the eggs and pour the eggs over the vegetables. Stir and shake the pan a few times until the eggs are evenly distributed. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan over the top and then put the frittata in the oven to bake.

    Bake for 10 minutes, until the center is fully set. If desired, run it quickly under the broiler for a golden top. Let the frittata cool slightly, and then serve in wedges with a green salad or toast. Leftovers can be served hot or cold, and will keep for one week.
