self-saucing one pan pasta…a game changing technique

I am forever in pursuit of recipes that allow me and you to get from-scratch, healthy food onto the table fast with minimal cleaning up. And this one pan pasta technique ticks all those boxes.

I am, clearly, a pretty compulsive cook. But I am far from being a domestic goddess as I hate cleaning up. In my dream life I’d cook and tinker for hours then I’d waft into another room for a cocktail while someone comes and cleans up all my mess. I think this is what it must be like to be Nigella or Gwyneth. If you know otherwise please don’t shatter my dreams. Anyway, until I am able to employ a team of housekeepers, I attempt to twiddle with every recipe I find to reduce the number of pots and pans I need to dirty.

One pan pasta is a game-changer

I’ve seen a few one-pan pasta dishes pop up over the years but had never really got excited about them. But then, as I was writing my new pasta class I thought I should include at least one recipe that didn’t require pasta and sauce to be prepared separately. Especially because I now live in the land of boxed mac and cheese and, as a foreigner, still don’t really get why everyone loves it so. If I can offer up an alternative to that box of orangeness that I know so many people love then I will be happy.
