Notes about these One-Pot Recipes

• Most of these recipes make a pretty large panful of pasta. Therefore, you'll need a large pot, skillet or Dutch oven to fit it all in one pot!
• Cooking time will vary depending on which type of uncooked pasta you use. Most of these posts will have a recommended pasta shape(s).
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
• Many of these recipes can easily be made gluten free. Simply use gluten-free pasta in place of the pasta - you may have to adjust the cook time, FYI.
