One-pan pasta is hot right now, and it’s no wonder. Throw everything in the pot, cook it all together for a few minutes, and voila! Dinner is served (and dish-washing is a cinch!) Loads of meatless dishes lend themselves perfectly to the one-pot treatment–and they don’t have to be limited to pasta, either. Here are 20 of our favorite one-skillet and one-pot vegetarian dinners.
One-Pot Pasta Primavera
Go green! This creamy primavera features gobs of the glorious veggies swimming alongside tender linguine goodness – and it cooks up in less than 10 minutes.
