Ever since I made that one pot pasta several weeks back, I’ve been on the hunt for more recipes like this – easy, effortless and sure to be a hit with the entire family. And this zucchini mushroom pasta is exactly that.
There is absolute no pre-cooking or sauteeing of any kind here. Simply throw everything into the pot, including the uncooked pasta and that is it.
And don’t be too shocked when everyone just
raves about how amazing this pasta is. Jason said this was the best
pasta he’s ever had! I obviously didn’t tell him how easy it was. Hey,
he did the dishes so it’s an even trade, right?
