One Pot Speed Pasta | Slimming Eats - Slimming Eats Recipes (2024)

One Pot Speed Pasta - a perfect delicious quick meal for the whole family to dig in enjoy.

Today was one of those boring chore kind of days. You know the sort, washing basket piled high, kitchen a mess and just general housework needing to be done.

By the time I had worked through all that lot, it was already time to fetch the kids from the bus stop and with still a few jobs to get done around the house, dinner time had crept up on me, the kids were hungry and I had absolutely nothing prepared.

The kids requested pasta, so decided to throw a few ingredients together for a yummy one pot meal.

One Pot meals are my favourite thing for days like today, nice and quick and only one pan to wash up afterwards. Perfect!!!

The beauty of this One Pot Speed Pasta - is that it comes packed with veggies and can easily be varied, using whatever vegetables you have in your fridge or pantry.

Got fussy kids? Grate the vegetables when adding them to this One Pot Speed Pasta, and they will hardly notice.

I also added some peas, because the kids love peas or corn in their pasta, don't most kids?

Plus I have a bit of an issue with dishes that don't have some sort of green added to them. I just think a meal looks healthier and fresher with some sort of green colour.

To remove the slight acidity of the tomato, I add a little sukrin: 1 (a natural sweetener with no aftertaste), you use any granulated sweetener of your choice, some honey or maybe syrup or even can omit if you prefer.

What pasta you use is entirely up to you, any shape will work - macaroni, penne, fettuccine. I just happened to use what I had one hand.
