Notes

  •  
  • If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating. I ❤️ hearing from you! 
  • You can customize this one-pot pasta recipe by adding your favorite vegetables or using up what's in your fridge. Try adding broccoli, yellow squash, or spinach for an extra dose of nutrition.
  • Don't worry if you don't have fresh vegetables on hand. You can use frozen veggies just as easily. In this recipe, we use frozen corn but feel free to use a frozen veggie mix if that's what you have.
  • If you like your pasta dish with a bit of a twist, you can increase the amount of red pepper flakes. On the other hand, if you're cooking for little ones who don't like spicy food, you can leave it out altogether.
  • This one-pot veggie pasta recipe calls for short pasta like rotini or rigatoni, but you can use other short pasta like penne pasta. Just keep in mind that different kinds of pasta may require slightly different cooking times.
  • Cover your pan with a lid as the pasta cooks. This helps to trap the steam and guarantees that the pasta cooks evenly and doesn't dry out.
