It’s easy to see why one-pot recipes are all the rage. They are easy and the one pot element saves time and work when it comes to clean-up. If you’re anything like me, then the cooking isn’t the hard part: it’s the clean-up afterwards that you dread. With these meals, there are fewer dishes to do which allows you to spend more time doing what you enjoy doing.
I’ve been experimenting with making one pot pasta meals this past year. Sometimes I follow recipes like the ones below that I find on the internet (mostly thanks to Pinterest) and other times, I play around with flavours we like to make my own creations or adapt our favourite recipes.
One-Pot Pasta with Sausage, Mushrooms and Basil from Happy Hooligans
10 Minute One Pot Pasta from Mess for Less
One Pot Cajun Chicken Alfredo from here on The Chaos and The Clutter (a one pot family version of our favourite at-home date night recipe)
One Pot Pumpkin Mac and Cheese from B-Inspired Mama
One Pot Chicken and Mushroom Past (Gluten Free) from Things to Share & Remember
Easy One Pot Spaghetti Recipe from ABC Creative Learning
15 Minute Easy Cheesy Italian Pasta Skillet from Pint-Sized Treasures (our family loved this one! and it’s fast!)
One-Pot Mushroom Spinach Pasta from Kids Activities Blog
One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta from Damn Delicious (I made this for myself as a midnight snack recently and it was really good)
One Pot Sausage Alfredo from Mirlanda’s Kitchen
One Pan Enchilada Pasta from No. 2 Pencil
Skinny One Pan Veggie Fajita Pasta from Baker by Nature
I am really enjoying experimenting with one pot dishes and since our family all loves pasta, one pot meals are a real time saving solution for us. Have you given them a try yet?
