10+ One-Pot Pasta Recipes

Looking for a meal that’s easy to whip up, clean and scarf down? This list of 10+ One-Pot Pasta Recipes has a variety of mouthwatering options to bring tons of flavor without the hassle.

Whether you’re craving seafood, want something meatless, or are seeking a plant-based option, there’s something on this list for you.

As a busy mom and environmental scientist, one-pot meals are my absolute favorite! Less clean-up means we save both time and water. Win, win!

And with such a wide variety of delicious one-pot recipes to choose from, cooking in just one pot definitely does not have to limit you!

Green tip: Speaking of cleanup, if you have a dishwasher-use it! Comparing dishwashing to handwashing, using an efficient dishwasher uses 1/6th the amount of water to get your dishes clean.

On this list, you will find all of my favorite one-pot pasta recipes, plus the full recipe for my Gourmet Mushroom Risotto which is ALWAYS a good idea.

Instructions

 

• Cook the pasta to al dente according to the directions on the box. Before straining, make sure to conserve at least 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Set pasta aside in a large bowl.
• Slice your mushrooms longways in 2-4 thin pieces, depending on their size. Add them to the pot with olive oil.
• Sautee mushrooms over medium heat until their juices release and they start to caramelize (5-8 minutes).
• Remove from heat and add the pasta back to the pot with the mushrooms. Add the pesto and toss.
• Assess the consistency. If it seems too thick and dense, add the pasta water about 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Pro Tips

• If you’re looking for extra protein in this dish, I highly recommend adding this 3-Ingredient Pesto Butter Salmon!
