Many people simply don’t make pasta because of the need to boil them in a separate vessel and then cooking them in another, plus plating and also the risk of them becoming too soggy. I think one-pan pasta will hopefully address this problem. Even my 13-year-old son has started cooking One-Pot Pasta- Red Sauce Pasta Recipe.
Red sauce pasta is a tasty pasta and mixed vegetable dish with a zesty and bright homemade tomato sauce. Make this pasta with or without vegetables, and it will always be delicious. I like to use vegetables since they bring flavor and nutrients to the dish. This vegetable pasta is particularly suitable for children who enjoy pasta but refuse to eat veggies.
This red sauce pasta is so delicious that you’ll want to make it again and again. Preparing the pasta, sauce, and vegetables together at once takes some time, so if you’re hoping for a speedy meal, follow the recipe.
