These easy, comforting pasta dishes require just one pot or pan.
Pasta is a go-to for busy weeknights. If you can boil water and whip up a quick pan sauce, you can have a warm, satisfying meal on the table in under 30 minutes. But some pasta recipes make things even easier. Inspired by Meghan Markle’s one-skillet spaghetti and Martha Stewart’s one-pan pasta, we’ve rounded up 10 delicious pasta dishes that require just a single pot or pan.
