Quick from Scratch One-Dish Meals Cookbook

It\'s a well-balanced, tasty dinner in a dish--the ultimate solution to how to produce a great meal in a short time. And they\'re all stylish and adventurous, a far cry from yesterday\'s dull stews. Fewer pots and pans, fewer dishes--but a delicious meal your friends and family will love. What could be better than a browned and bubbling Fusilli with Three Cheeses (fontina, mozzarella, and Parmesan) and Bell Pepper? Or swordfish sitting atop a fluffy mound of couscous, with a vinaigrette of chunky fresh plum tomatoes? A piquant South American chimichurri sauce is the perfect accompaniment to a grilled steak; black beans go alongside. And lots more, with cooking tips for such things as foolproof rice and adjusting the thickness of sauces.
