GPT’s Idea of One Pan Pasta
Less Meghan Sussex’s One Pan Spaghetti al Pomodoro and More One Pan Spaghetti Bolognese … This is what chatGPT thinks a one pan pasta should look and taste like. It’s actually quite good. Perhaps a little more sauce than a typical serving of spaghetti but that’s easily remedied. Just add a little more pasta or reduce the water. Quick, Easy and Delicious!
One Pan Pasta-A Repost
One pan pasta has developed new interest after Meghan Sussex’s Netflix appearance. I’ve an additional recipe I will post in a day or two. One that actually includes meat. In the meantime enjoy this William Sonoma makeover from a few years ago.
William Sonoma make over to fit my available ingredients and to serve the pasta and tomatoes al dente without high alcohol content for the kiddos. Vegetarian perfect with amazing flavor.
Add Anchovies if you like. And for my idea of a true puttanesca sauce add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes when adding the garlic.
You can’t go wrong with pasta
At least this is my take! While perusing TIKTOK recipes I noted this one. Looked easy quick and cheesy perfect. When I finished cooking and took a bite I realized I had combined two recipes in error. It was good but not better than any of these.
…PASTA or any one of these dishes in the search window and see what happens!

Chicken Piccata
Simple but tasty … Add wine when company is expected for a more sophisticated taste. This thinly sliced chicken, chicken piccata, is just so perfect … It becomes about the lemony buttery sauce. Enjoy a little twist with the bella mushrooms. We love it!!
Or try my Chicken Involtini for a truly smashing presentation. If you have chicken you may have all ingredients needed for this recipe because this dish has a list of optional stuffings … from sausage to prosciutto or pancetta to mild white cheeses to herbs, rosemary, sage, parsley, or basil, to pine nuts or capers, to vegetables, spinach or roasted red bell peppers even bread crumbs.
These are amazing dishes anytime!
Summer Minestrone
With a vegetable garden this is so easy to put together. A bit of a pantry recipe, versatile, whatever you have on hand. Even add a bit of meat, Italian sausage my suggestion, for the meat lovers. My secret to a well melded minestrone is to simmer for over an hour even if it’s cooked through in 30 minutes.
No Cook Tomato Pasta Topping
Great Summertime Pasta Dish! Place this sauce over your warm pasta and dig in. It’s perfect for those summer tomatoes and basil. Light and delicious!
Easy Baked Ziti
How about this for a Holiday Meal. So easy and So delicious. Another dinner prepped by my oldest! This recipe uses the canned tomatoes we had shipped from Italy. Check out how we found this delicious tomato sauce. Not to worry, Sclafani Crushed Tomato Sauce is also available on Amazon. It’s worth a try!
This is one of those meals that preps quickly then bakes ’til bubbly. If your family and friends are into pasta they’ll love this.
Cheese and Peas Pasta
Yep, I love pasta! When I see a pasta dish that looks this good I’ve got to try it! This pasta dish was inspired by the Pasta Queen as seen in the Fall Recipe Issue of William Sonoma California catalog. I made the recipe as is the first time around but found it a little bland … lacking depth. (Admittedly, I just recovered my taste & sense of smell after a bout of covid.) I’ll stick with my additions. Give this a try if you love pasta and of course peas.

Tex Mex Vegetarian Lasagna
Today is Pasta Sunday, and I decided to do a changeup! You know how some vegetarian lasagna recipes are just missing something (like meat!). Well, with this recipe you don’t even go there! This recipe has all the ingredients it needs to be perfectly delicious. My guest was surprised to find the sauce has V-8 … mainly because he doesn’t like V-8, or is it Worcestershire? Actually, I use both in cooking and normally don’t mention it to him. No Worcestershire in this recipe!
Lots of good ingredients. And a very surprising vegetarian lasagna!
