If you’ve read this blog for any length of time you know I’m pretty crazy about fast and easy one-pot meals.

After serving many of these simple, delicious meals to my family, I’ve determined that complicated does not necessarily mean better.

FAQs and Valerie’s TipsCan I use a different kind of pasta? I have found penne to be the best choice but you can substitute any type of short pasta you love. Bowtie, shells, or fusilli will all work. Can I use frozen spinach? I recommend using fresh baby spinach, when at all possible. Frozen spinach can be used in a pinch but be sure it is fully defrosted and wring out as much of the liquid as possible before adding it to the pasta. Can I add more vegetables? Yep! Other readers have added mushrooms, asparagus, zucchini, and more with great success. I recommend reading the reader comments section to see what has worked for others. More One Pot Pasta Recipes
