I few a few minor changes, mostly because I love fresh picked green beans, and garlic. They are my life.

And also because the girls love them. How could I not add a vegetable my kids practically beg me for?

I also used some delicious RAGÚ® Homestyle Thick and Hearty Traditional Sauce (similar), and it really made a huge difference in the dish. It’s so thick, it literally hugs the pasta, and has such a complex, dynamic flavor, which is paramount in a dish with very few, and simple, ingredients.

Also, no draining. Hello, awesome.

I diced up some yellow onion and garlic and cooked them for a few minutes to soften and release their flavors, before adding the rest of the ingredients. I highly recommend adding the pasta and water first, and then adding the veggies on top, because it helps ensure the pasta gets completely cooked, while simultaneously steaming the veggies without them getting ridiculously soggy.

It’s so simple, and so delicious, and comes together in almost no time at all. I mean, you can’t get much better than that, am I right?!

I Snapped this bad boy the other day, and it was crazy popular, for good reason. If you aren’t already following me on Snapchat, you really should get on that. Cause I’m awesome. And also because I have this tendency to use weird voices when I talk.

My husband says that’s normal, by the way. For me. Whatever.

    I cooked the one pot pasta dish today and it was delish!!! The only ingredient I did not have was the Parmesan cheese. So, I used American cheese and it was just as delish! Thank you for the one pot pasta dish recipe. So simple and yummy!

    You crack me up. I use weird voices too but I feel like when you have kids it’s par for the course. LOL This looks delicious and I love one pot pastas!! I’ve tried a few and I’d have to say that I like the ones with this type of noodles versus the spaghetti best because it just cooks better. Great recipe!
