| One Pot Spaghetti (err...in this case...Ziti) |
Pasta is one of my favorite meals, but no so much for the Fiance. He's more into meat, and potatoes to be quite honest. Well, unfortunately for him, meat and potatoes are a little bit more expensive than pasta dishes! I found this recipe on Pinterest, and being as how I wouldn't have to dirty more than one pot to cook it I was down to give it a try!
In order to make the Fiance a little happier about pasta dishes he likes to have some kind of meat in them, and lately ground beef is just completely out of the question as it makes me nauseas during my pregnancy...so we usually have ground turkey or chicken instead (although the texture of the ground meat is just not my favorite to be completely honest!). I also like to add veggies to just about every meal just to throw in some extra nutrients and flavor.
Recipe : One Pot Spaghetti (or any other pasta)
1 TBSP of Butter (or your choice of oil)
1-2 Chicken Breasts (depending on how much meat you want)
1-2 Chicken Breasts (depending on how much meat you want)
1 clove Garlic, minced
8oz. sliced mushrooms
1 Bell Pepper, sliced into strips
1 can chicken broth (or homemade)
1 (26oz.) jar of spaghetti sauce
1 cup water
8oz. pasta (I chose to use Ziti)
1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
-Cut your Chicken Breasts into chunks, or strips.
-Heat a Large Pot over Medium Heat and melt your Butter.
-Add Chicken Breast chunks and cook until almost done.
-Add Garlic, Mushrooms, and Bell Pepper and stir until fragrant and mushrooms and peppers release their water (your chicken should be done by now also).
-Add Broth, Spaghetti Sauce, and Water and bring to a boil.
-Add pasta and reduce heat.
-Cook covered, about 17-20min until pasta is cooked al dente, stirring occasionally, and adding more water if needed.
-Stir in Parmesan.
-Serve hot with some garlic bread!

Mommy & Tots Review
I've made this twice so far, and both times we have completely loved it! I even made it for my parents for their 25th Anniversary dinner the one night, and they loved it. My mom has made it since then as well. It's so simple and completely full of flavor. The real perk of this recipe? THE FIANCE LOVED IT. He has begged me to make this instead of any other pasta dish lately, although I like to try new things as well so we tend to do that more often than eat the same things over and over.
This is easily one of our go to meals from now on if we want something completely delicious and easy to make.
Is This Tot Approved? :
I wish it were, but my little man doesn't really like to eat ANYTHING to be quite honest. If I come across something that he will eat I will be sure to scream it from the hill-tops and have it recorded so I can still believe it at a later date.
Mommy & Tots was not paid in any way to review this recipe, it was just done out of pure curiosity of the taste buds.
We love the recipe from the original poster but followed your link through the comments. I love the idea of adding veggies. I was looking it up to review the recipe before I made a trip to the store...peppers is going on the list. The kids will never know they are there! Thanks!!
