one-pan meals that actually clock in under 45 minutes

the one-pan format has a quiet structural logic to it, every element has to justify its presence because there's nowhere to hide. that same constraint is what makes so many of these recipes genuinely fast. shakshuka, za'atar salmon with tomatoes, quick ragù variations, when the pan does the work, the timing tends to stay honest. curious which ones the community has actually tested against the clock.
