When the end of the day is approaching and your stomach is slowly starting to rumble, it should be done as quickly as possible. Grabbing a ready-made meal from the freezer or ordering from a trusted delivery service is obvious.
The perfect alternative: one-pot dishes. They are quick to prepare, taste intensely creamy and spicy and save us a lot of dirty pots and pans. In addition, you decide what goes into the pot – so you can make your personal dish fresh, nutritious and balanced.
As the name suggests, the one-pot pasta puts all the ingredients in one pot and cooks them together with the rest of the ingredients. In the end, all you have to do is: taste and enjoy. By cooking the pasta in the sauce, it takes on an intense aroma. Admittedly, it sounds too good to be true at first, but the method of preparation has now become established and is very popular.
TV chef Martha Stewart started the hype about the fixed dish with her “One Pan Pasta”. However, the original idea probably comes from Italy itself: The “pasta risottata” is a traditional Italian recipe in which the pasta is put into a pan or pot like risotto – together with all the ingredients – so that with the smallest effort a simple but tasty one can be prepared Pasta dish is created.
Another advantage of the one-pot dishes are the possible variations. Everything that the refrigerator has to offer and that suits your taste goes into the pot. Accordingly, the one-pot dishes are also perfect for using up leftovers. A few eggs, leftover vegetables or an opened cup of cream? The bases for a delicious one-pot meal couldn’t be more diverse.
This one-pot pasta takes us into the world of Asian cuisine. Plenty of fresh vegetables, creamy coconut milk and a hot and spicy note. After 15 minutes you will not only be rewarded with a creamy and aromatic pasta – the dish is also nutritious, wholesome and even vegan.
Thanks to the coconut milk, we get a creamy, full-bodied sauce without any addition of animal products. It is also rich in vitamins, nutrients and minerals and contains pure vegetable fat. Noodles, on the other hand, provide hardly any fat but important carbohydrates. They provide us with plenty of energy and contribute to satiety.
There are no limits to your imagination when choosing the vegetables. Zucchini, peas, peppers or spring onions are particularly suitable, but mushrooms, carrots, broccoli or snow peas are also ideal for the Asian dish. Vegetables provide us with a lot of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The secondary plant substances it contains are also anti-inflammatory, and the amount of fiber keeps us full for a long time.
Spices like ginger and garlic are real nutrient bombs. They contain countless different active ingredients, sometimes have an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory effect and regulate digestion.
The advantages of the one-pot pasta are obvious – a clear victory over ready meals, fast food and Co. And this is how you prepare the tasty dish:
