Any housewife can boast of a list of proven recipes - both for a quick everyday dinner and for an evening when guests are expected.

But even the most delicious dishes can get boring over time. If you want to add some variety to your meal, use the advice of the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova - she shared life hacks that will make pleasant changes to the taste and presentation of food.

If it's pasta, then in a frying pan.

Forget the rule that pasta should only be cooked in a large pot. Instead, try taking a deep frying pan, filling it with cold water, and adding the required amount of pasta.

This way, firstly, the pasta will cook faster, and secondly, it won’t stick together (if you use durum wheat pasta).

Place the meatballs in the oven

This option for preparing meatballs is especially relevant for people who adhere to healthy eating or are on a diet.

Note: in a muffin baking pan, the meatballs will be perfectly smooth and will not stick to each other. Simply form balls from the minced meat, fill the pan with them and bake for about 30-40 minutes in the oven.

Replace bread in cutlets with zucchini

Maybe it's time to stop making minced meat cutlets with bread soaked in milk? Zucchini is the ingredient that will make a meat dish juicy, tender and soft.

It is not able to interrupt the taste of minced meat, it perfectly binds all the ingredients, preventing the cutlets from falling apart and, in addition to everything else, it is low in calories.

Earlier we explained why cottage cheese casserole first rises and then falls.
