You know I love easy dinner recipes, and this one is definitely super easy, I mean, how hard can a one pot pasta be, right?

Ground beef has always been my jam, ever since I was preggo with my first daughter and I started having ridiculous aversions to literally all foods except hamburger. So just know, know, that when it comes to easy recipes with hamburger, I’ve years of training under my belt. Four kids in 4.5 years tends to do that.

Take a seat chicken. Booyah.

In terms of easy dinner recipes, this Creamy Pesto Lasagna One Pot Pasta is perfect for any night of the week! Dinner is served! | asimplepantry.comThere isn’t too much happening here, but the flavor of this dish is just zomg amazing. I made my own pesto, because I have yet to find a deli variety in my town, and I do not like shelf-stable pesto. All the nope.

Funny thing, though, I do really like this herb paste. I happened upon it by chance when I was grabbing my usual tomato paste in a tube. Seriously, I do not know how I lived life without tomato paste in a tube. I waste almost no paste now. It’s amazing. Be amazed with me.

I did utilize the herb paste for a boost of flavor. It was mild and enjoyable, and since it has a lot of complementary flavors to pesto, it was kind of a no-brainer. So go get you some. Right meow.

And then when you’ve got that in hand, go tackle this mother of easy dinner recipes, cause you just absolutely have to enjoy this dinner. Doooooo it. That’s an order.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil

  • 1 ½ lb Extra Lean Ground Beef
  • 5 Garlic Cloves minced
