I’m always up for a one pot meal and this one is so easy and satisfying. Fresh veg is getting exy so I’ve tested this one with fresh and frozen broccoli and both work perfectly. You could even use peas or mixed green veg. The sharpness of the KEEN’S mustard powder adds a real brightness to the cheesy sauce, and stops it all from feeling too heavy.
Creamy pasta without that heavy feeling? Yes please! This one has some extra veg added to help the texture of the sauce and add a depth of flavour that you’ll really appreciate.
Don’t get freaked out by the mish mash of cultures happening here. This recipe celebrates that funkiness of the crispy chilli oil and the pancetta. The acid hit of the capers balances the sweetiness of the Chinese cooking wine. It’s all there for a reason!
This is sort of like a tuscan tortellini soup but there’s no meat! The depth of flavour comes from the mushrooms being browned and the parmesan -both umami rich ingredients that make for the most delightful and comforting pasta filled soup. It also comes together in less than an hour which is always a win when it comes to comfort food.
This is such a flavoursome risotto thanks to the Parmesan stock you use to make it. It’s still a delight with vegetable or chicken stock but the Parmesan broth is a flavour power house and basically free to make so you should totally try it!
This is the easiest pasta dish in the world! I’ve always been dubious of one pot pastas due to the whole non traditional nature, but who doesn’t want less dishes to do? The Smokey cheddar is perfectly balanced by the acidity of the KEENs mustard powder and the brightness of the tomatoes.
This pasta is a go to. I often cooke tomatoes like this, lightly mash them with the roasted garlic and toss that through pasta but the basil oil brings this dish to a whole new level. It’s fresh but full of warmth.
We’re having beautiful days and cooler nights in Melbourne at the moment and this is the kind of food I’m craving. I’ve been making my own gnocchi and I’ll include the recipe for that below. But you can easily use store bought or your favourite recipe. Pasta would also be delicious with this sauce.
This winner has been coming for a while. I’ve made different versions of it so many times. You can add extra layers of sliced vegetables if you like but it’s perfect as is. A rich vegetarian ragu full of umami flavour layered with cheesy sauce and silky pasta. Oh yes.
I actually already have two similar recipes on the blog, and when the cravings hit for this deliciousness this week I revisited them. And promptly realised I could make it simpler so here we are! This is easy, designed to be made with whatever cheese you have and creamier than the other variations. It’s vegetable filled comfort food at its best.
