90 no-fuss, one-pot pasta dinners, because weeknight cooking should not mean a sink full of dishes.
Boil the pasta, drain it, make the sauce in a separate pan, then wash it all up. If that sounds like more work than dinner should be, this book fixes it. Every recipe starts with dry pasta, a measured amount of broth, milk or cream, and everyday ingredients, and it all comes together in a single pot, start to finish.
Inside you will find:
— Classic Italian (18 recipes): garlicky, tomato-forward comfort food
— Creamy Favorites (18 recipes): rich cheese-and-cream sauces
— Vegetarian (18 recipes): built around vegetables, beans and cheese
— Spicy & International (18 recipes): from Thai peanut noodles to Cajun shrimp
— Leftover Remix (18 recipes): turn last night's roast chicken, ham or steak into a brand-new dinner
— Per-serving nutrition estimates (calories, protein, carbs, fat) and a clear allergen line on every recipe
— A pasta shape guide with simmer times, a liquid ratio rule of thumb and a list of safe internal temperatures
— An index by main ingredient, so you can start from what is in your fridge
What you will learn: a short Getting Started chapter walks through the core one-pot technique: how much liquid to use, how long to simmer and how to tell when the pasta is ready, so once you have made a few of these you can start improvising with whatever is in your own pantry.
Whether you are cooking for a busy family, feeding yourself after a long day, or just tired of doing dishes, this collection is built for real weeknights. Ingredient lists use everyday supermarket staples, and every step is numbered.
