How to Make One Pot Pasta

Okay, I know this isn’t rocket science and many of you have probably already mastered the one pot meal! It’s pretty much just throw all the goodness in the skillet and let the cooking magic happen.

Start by browning the cubed chicken on all sides, don’t worry about having it cooked all the way through at this point, it will continue to cook as the pasta boils. Once the chicken is all nice and golden, add in all the chopped veggies and let those cook for a few minutes.

Now for the one pot meal wonder!! Dump in your uncooked pasta, water and spaghetti sauce. Bring all this to a boil and cover for 10-15 minutes until the pasta is al dente. Sprinkle with cheesy goodness and enjoy!!!

One Pot Cheesy Pasta

You really can’t go wrong with melted cheese and pasta, even if there are a bunch of those nasty vegetables in there (says all of my kids, including the hubs). Sometimes, you just have to make vegetables happen and mixing them in with other deliciousness is the best why I have found to feed them to my fam!

They won’t even know they are in there, you can even go as far as pureeing them before cooking if your fam is extra picky.
