One Pot Pasta

One Pot Pasta

I’ve been seeing this recipe floating around, I believe the concept came from Martha Stewart. Whoever it was, it is a stroke of brilliance. One pot, dinner ready in less than 20 minutes and it tastes amazing. I added Meatballs to mine because I was already making them after my grill wouldn’t start today and I needed to use the ground beef up. You can switch up the pasta or veggies and create something different every time you make it. Also amazing is only 1 dirty pan! Want it hot? Add some jalapeno or red hot pepper flakes. What about cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms and spinach also? I could see adding chicken strips or shrimp to this also.

Once I got everything I was going to use in the pan and the spices added, I stirred it every 3 – 4 minutes. I had this urge to add some tomato paste to it or the olive oil I saw in some recipes, but I resisted. Just as it finished I still wanted to add a little butter just to make the sauce that was there coat the pasta a little better. I resisted and was pleasantly surprised with my first bite that I had resisted and avoided adding fat to a recipe when it just didn’t need it. Sometimes less is more, this is one of those dishes.

I added the Meatballs (since they had just come out of the oven) in the last 5 minutes of cooking the one pot pasta dish.
