Just an idea for those of us who look in the fridge and store cupboard and then go out and get a take away because we are out of ideas for a weekday meal, of course "healthy" is very subjective but hey its all a step in the right direction and this thread will hopefully build into a more healthy and tastier option than a take away 
Basic rules
I'll start with a dish I blatently stole off of the sweary blokes channel four programme
Put on to boil a handful of linguine or what ever pasta you have in the cupboard (not to much!)
Sweat off some mushrooms, leaks and a garlic in a pan
after 5 mins add enough chicken of veg stock to half cover the ingredients and reduce by 50% (if using a stock cube you only need an 1/8 per person)
little bit of salt & pepper
add half a teaspoon of dried tarragon per person
When the pasta is cooked to have just a little bite add it to the veg along with just a tiny bit of cream ( you really dont need much and can substitute it for low fat cream fresh but it might split but will not spoil the taste)
cook for a futher 2 mins and the bob is your uncle
If you have it sprinkle just a touch of grated parmisan over the finished dish
nom!
if you have a bit of left over chicken you can ad that at the veg stage but its really not nessasary as it quite a satisfying meal
Im cooking this again next week so will add a pic then
If this thread has been done before feel free to ignor/delete but I have been popping in here every now and then and not seen anything specific to trying to be a bit more healthy
Basic rules
Has to be tasty but not going to kill you too soon
Pretty basic stuff that does not cost a fortune
Give a list of ingredients and options if healthier
Fairly quick and easy to cook and prepare
A picture is always good to entice us all in but not a deal breaker
Enjoy
