Some days simply call for a no-fuss comfort food that doesn't require a whole lot of effort, and one-pot pasta fits in perfectly. Not a long preparation process, and spending a lot of time scrubbing dishes after dinner. These one-pot pasta recipes are ideal for busy weekdays when you have a million things to do or on a lazy evening.
Pasta cooks away in a big pot of tomato sauce, and it is the perfect way to soak up all the flavours in one go.
As the mushrooms cook down in the pot, they release all their juices and create this beautifully rich and earthy one-pot sauce that makes the dish.
Add in some mixed veg, milk and cheese, and presto. You have got yourself a creamy, kid-friendly dinner that's as easy as can be.
Takes pasta and turns it into a real comfort food favourite with the help of some Indian spices, onions, and tomatoes.
Milk, butter and herbs simmering away together, and before long, your pasta is coated in this smooth, creamy sauce.
Quick, light and full of flavour, pasta cooks in garlicky oil then gets a nice burst of lemon freshness at the end.
Soft cubes of paneer add a nice bit of richness and some extra protein to the mix, so this one-pot meal really is filling and satisfying in the end.
