While I know I still have some time before M² arrives, I'm not totally sure I'll find the time to prepare as many meals (if any). So, I've been on the hunt to find tasty, easy meals that I can whip up with an infant and a personified tornado.
Recently I came across this one pot pasta and it immediately went to the When the Baby Comes food list.
It was unbelievably easy to prepare. From start to finish I think the whole meal took 25 minutes to prep and make. Amazing. I need more meals like this in my life.
Did I also mention it's action packed with flavor? And Marcus even ate some of the noodles. Hallelujah!
One Pot Sausage Tomato and Basil Pasta
1 pound of spaghetti (one box)
1 package sausage of your choice - I went with smoked turkey
1 large onion thinly sliced
3 cups halved grape tomoatoes
2 cups fresh basil leaves, loosely packed
4 garlic cloves thinly sliced
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
How It Comes Together
In a large stock pot over medium-high heat combine spaghetti, sausage, onion, tomatoes, basil, garlic, and 4 1/2 cups water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring pot to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until pasta is cooked through and liquid has reduced, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in Parmesan and serve immediately.
Viola! That's it! Dinner is ready.
Enjoy!
that looks and sounds amazing!! Love how easy it comes together too!!
ReplyDeleteYummmmm! This sounds absolutely delish! I love one pot wonders!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, and Ive seen the idea all over pinterest. And yet my husband will not eat pasta and Aria isn't a fan either. So alas they make it difficult. Praise the Lord for easy meals though. I had freezer meals on the to do list but then Aria came early and ruined all the plans. I lived off of yogurt, and those toaster waffles the first few months. I remember being so hungry for something anything else!
ReplyDeleteJust added these ingredients to my grocery list. Love easy meals! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been intrigued by these one pot pasta meals for a long time but wasn't sure how they would come out. Looks like a success for you though!
ReplyDeleteEasy meals are the best! I'm currently stuck in a dinner rut and need more quick ideas. This is perfect!
ReplyDeleteLooks good and easy! I'm trying to think of some of my easy recipes that I can share that you'd actually eat -- most aren't all that healthy! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is tough to make freezer meals with a toddler running around. I had Hannah help me make meals with me when preparing for Meeghan's arrival. It was a long day, but I finished.
ReplyDeleteThat does sound good. I wonder if I left out the sausage if it would lose too much flavor. (I don't eat sausage.)
I have never mad a one pot pasta dish but I would really like to try one sometime. Maybe I'll give this one a go.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! It would be a perfect, easy meal to throw together on a week night after work. Totally bookmarking... for Seth ;)
