As apartment-renters, my husband and I don’t have a dishwasher. Doing dishes by hand is my least favorite household chore.
Anytime I can find a one-pan dinner, I celebrate a little bit, because it saves me a lot of time, and saves my poor wrinkled hands from a big battle with the dish soap. 😉
This One Pan Italian Pasta is one of our new favorite go-to meals. It literally takes 20 minutes to throw together from start to finish, and it is so filling! My husband literally asked when we could have it again while we were eating it. (That’s always a good sign, right?)

It looks delicious and super easy! cant wait to try it!
OMG!!!!!! A dinner that takes 20 minutes to prepare??? I’m going to be sooooo happy after getting home from my college every evening! This is SUPER!
This might be a silly question.. but are you supposed to boil it covered or uncovered?
Boil it uncovered. 🙂
I highly recommend adding half a bag of spinach before simmering! Adds color and veggies and is super yummy!
This took me longer than 20 minutes to cook but it was still easy and delicious. I did add the spinach which was an easy way to add some veggies for the kiddos.
