These days we want dinner to be fast and at least somewhat nutritious, but every once in a while, it's nice to step it up and create a wholesome meal that is both comforting and nostalgic — like Grandma used to serve. Look to these Sunday dinner recipes to make it happen.

Creamy Chicken Quinoa Broccoli Casserole
Protein lovers will obsess over the quintuple whammy of chicken, quinoa, milk, cheese, and bacon in this casserole. Add a little broccoli for extra fiber and vitamins, and you have an indulgent dish that doesn’t skimp on nutrition either. (via Brit + Co)

Vegan Portuguese Kale Soup
Kale is cooked until meltingly tender in this recipe. It gives each spoonful a silky, luscious bite. Its earthiness is brightened up by hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and garlic. (via Brit + Co)
Comforting Pancetta Pasta
Inspired by the classic Roman dish pasta all’Amatriciana, tangles of spaghetti are tossed with crisped up pancetta and plenty of Pecorino to give this recipe a salty, meaty bite. Sweet tomatoes round out the dish, and red pepper adds a slight kick that will have you reaching for your wine glass. (via Brit + Co)
Instant Pot Indian Butter Chicken
Succulent chicken that tastes like it has been cooked for hours can be whipped up in minutes in the Instant Pot. Serve it over fluffy basmati rice, which will soak up the ghee-enriched spiced tomato sauce. (via The Essential Indian Instant Pot Cookbook; photo via Brittany Griffin / Brit + Co)
Instant Pot Beef Stew

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
A surefire way to guarantee that a simple meal of pasta with olive oil and garlic tastes worthy of the weekend is adding in as much fresh parsley as you can handle. Melting a couple of anchovy fillets in the oil might weird you out at first but the savory punch it adds to this dish is undeniable. (via Where Cooking Begins; photo via Gentl and Hyers)
