Weeknights are busy enough without having to spend hours planning, cooking, and cleaning up dinner. Try this one-pan pasta for a fresh meal that’ll fill you up while cutting down on dishes.
This method focuses on cooking pasta in a pan, then using the starchy water as the base for a sauce. You’ll need pasta, fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, fresh basil, olive oil, just enough water, salt, pepper, and parmesan (although honestly, everything past the pasta, onion, garlic, and tomatoes are really a matter of taste.) Throw everything except the cheese into a high-walled pan or dutch oven, and bring it to a boil. Turn the pasta every few minutes with tongs, gently mixing all the ingredients together until the pasta is done. Top with the cheese and chow down.
