One-pot pasta dishes are life savers. You literally just have to chuck a bunch of veggies, herbs and spices into a pot, add some pasta and freshly boiled water then let it cook. No draining is needed as the past absorbs all of the water and flavours in the pot.
When I have a little extra time, I like to get a little fancier with my one-pot pasta by preparing special sauces which would be added to the pot while cooking. These sauces add to the medley of flavours which make a one-pot pasta so amazing. Depending on the contents of the sauce, it could contribute to the creaminess of the final dish.
The recipe which I have chosen to share with you is that of my tomato-veggie one-pot pasta. It is packed with nutrients and a flavour that leaves you not only eating more than you planned but licking your plate too! It leaves you not wanting to waste even the minutest bit of the dish.
I will not be getting into the health benefits of the nutrients found in this dish although I will be listing the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants found in it as they have been described in previous recipe posts. These nutrients include vitamin A, vitamin C, B-Complex vitamins (thiamin (B-1), riboflavin (B-2), pantothenic acid (B-5), pyridoxamine (B-6) and folic acid (B-9)), vitamin K, flavonoids (kaempferol, dihydroflaonols, anthocyanins and isorhamnetin), sodium, sulfur-containing compounds, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, potassium, niacin, copper, dietary fibre, antioxidant polyphenols and lycopene.
Without further ado, here is the recipe:
Bon Appétit!
