SAUCY PASTA ALL-IN-ONE POT
Not sure where I received this recipe, but it's perfect for a quick weeknight supper. For some reason, I always have a jar of spaghetti sauce in the fridge that I need to use the remainder of or throw away. Sometimes I add a bit of Italian seasoning for extra flavor. This dish cooks in one pot, so there is minimal clean up. Also, it's much healthier than Hamburger Helper.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: For this recipe, short pasta like penne, fusilli, or rotini works best. They hold the sauce well and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the pasta, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the pasta from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
- Use a large pot: When making this recipe, it's important to use a large pot. This will give the pasta plenty of room to cook and prevent it from sticking together.
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions: Different types of pasta have different cooking times, so be sure to follow the directions on the package.
- Don't rinse the pasta after cooking: Rinsing the pasta after cooking will remove the starch, which helps the sauce stick to the pasta. So, avoid rinsing the pasta unless you're planning to use it in a cold salad.
- Add the sauce to the pasta immediately: After the pasta is cooked, immediately add the sauce to it. This will help the sauce evenly coat the pasta and prevent it from drying out.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the pasta with fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or oregano. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

One-pot pasta recipes are a great way to make a quick and easy meal. They're perfect for busy weeknights or when you're short on time.
