After a long day at work or busy weekend, the last thing we want to do is spend our hard-earned downtime cooking dinner. Because let’s face it, we’re not all MasterChefs. That’s why many of us are often scouring the internet, cookbooks and our mum’s brains searching for meal inspiration that is quick, easy and foolproof.

Most of us don’t have the time (or will) to spend hours dicing and frying or blanching and baking when we have important Netflix business to attend to. So, we put three Mamamia writers of varying cooking skills (from great to virtually non-existent) up to a challenge: whip up a delicious meal in 15 minutes. Three writers, including myself, went for it.

How did we go? It’s time to see. Ready. Get set. Go!

When it comes to cooking, I'm really only well versed in one skill. You might've heard of it, it's called 'burning'. Outside of that, what I can do when it comes to creating a meal is very, well, limited. For this reason I'm always looking for dinner inspiration that is basically impossible to screw up and still edible by the time I'm done with it.

As a result, I've come to discover all of the best meal options that require little to no effort because if I didn't, I probably wouldn't be eating at all. So I will now impart to you my wisdom of the easiest darn meal you will ever make. And to top it off, it's completely delish.

Introducing the McCain Rustica Pizza, which comes in three drool-worthy flavours: Spinach and Mozzarella, Four Cheese and Margherita. All you have to do is preheat the oven, remove the pizza from the packaging, place it on the oven rack (YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A TRAY) and cook it for 12-14 minutes. Thenvoila, you're done! All under 15 minutes.

I tried the Spinach and Mozzarella pizza. It tastes a million times better - and is far friendlier to your wallet - than a takeaway pizza. It tastes exactly like a wood-fired oven pizza you'd order at a swanky Italian restaurant. It's tomato-ey, it's cheesy, it's topped with a bit of green, it's everything you'd want to get in your gob on a cold winter's night.
