    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.

    I'd love to know which one of these easy dinners you're most excited to try!!! Tell me in the comments below when you find your new favorite!!! ~Kelsey
