I can't believe
that I avoided making a one-pot pasta for this long, but now I have
finally made it, I have joined the club of the one-pot cooks! This
recipe by Anna Jones: Kale, Tomato and lemon zest one-pot spaghetti was the one that ultimately persuaded me. It turned out
to be a really tasty pasta dish.
This
dish was so convenient to make and such a revelation. My partner
often makes remarks about how many pots and pans and bowls I usually
use to make one dish, but now he was really surprised.
You
can find the original recipe through the link, but I also made some
small amendments of my own. I used kalettes instead of kale and only
zest of one lemon, which I found to be enough lemony taste. Kalettes are pretty much my favourite greens of the season, they can go just anywhere. I
also added some garlic to the recipe, as I simply don't seem to be able to
cook without garlic. I chose spaghetti as my preferred pasta and it
worked out very nicely. What a nice sauce the pasta cooking water
shaped with the olive oil, tomatoes and other seasoning. It was
really amazing and makes my other weekday pastas look quite lame.
What
are your experiences with one-pot pasta dishes?

That looks beautiful - I have had some failures with one pot pastas but also some great success (and shamefully I have that book and need to cook from it)
ReplyDeleteThank you Johanna! This is a great concept of cooking, but I can imagine that it sometimes can go wrong. I wouldn't want to develop my own one´-pot recipes anytime soon, as the measurements will have to be very accurate.
