One pot white pasta


I love anything cooked in a single pot. That means just one vessel to wash. Everyone can wash their own plates!!

Remember it is one pot, but not really 'healthy' as it has loads of cheese and 1 tbsp butter.

Recipe was inspired by 'One Pot Chef'.
I have added broccoli to my pasta, but it is optional.

Do try the pasta in red tomato sauce. It is also a one pot recipe too!

Serves : 3

Ingredients:
Pasta - 200gms
Water - 2 & 1/2 cups
Milk - 1 cup
Salt
Mixed herbs - 1 tsp
Garlic crushed - 1 heaped tbsp
Onion chopped fine - 3 tbsp
Parmesan cheese grated - 1 cup
Spring onion chopped (both white and green) - 4 tbsp
Broccoli (optional) - 1 cup
Olive oil - 2 tbsp
Butter - 1 tbsp

If you want , you may add mushroom instead of broccoli. Just saute with the onion and remember to take it out of the pan when it browns. Add just before serving.

Heat the olive oil in a large pot / pan.
Add in the garlic and fry till aromatic.
Next add the onion. Fry on medium flame till transparent.
Add in the water, milk, butter, salt and mixed herbs.
When it boils , add in the pasta.
If you are adding the broccoli, add it when the pasta is 3/4 cooked.
Once the pasta gets cooked and almost all the liquid has evaporated, tip in 3/4 of the cheese and spring onion.
Mix well.
Serve hot garnished with rest of the cheese and spring onion.
