one pan pasta – the easiest midweek dinner

One pan pasta recipe

Last night was our usual frantic mid week evening that started with double swimming lessons, showering two soap-resistant children and battling the changing rooms before coming home with another pile of laundry to add to the existing pile of laundry. I made this easy one pan pasta when we got home and it was on the table in less than 20 minutes, it even gave me time to get the washing machine going mid way through. Hopefully it helps you on your own hectic nights.

One pan pasta – a new way of cooking pasta

This one pan pasta is a new way of cooking pasta in the sauce. Hence the one pan. It wins on two levels – it saves washing up and the pasta soaks in all sorts of delicious flavour as it cooks in the sauce. Because the pasta cooks in the sauce, no one can tell that you’ve used a brown/wholewheat pasta so it is an easy way to get a few more nutrients into everyone.

One pan pasta is a great child-pleaser and can easily be adapted. Once you’ve made it a couple of times you won’t even need to look at the recipe.
