Author Notes
Its so wonderful when you can pull a full healthy meal out of your hat in just 30 or so minutes! And in one pot. And with stuff out of your fridge.
I made up this recipe one night when a friend of mine gave me one those "Duh!" moments. She introduced me to cooking your pasta in homemade chicken stock creating the sauce and cooking the pasta all in one pot! "Duh". No need to dirty two pots.
Although I have created this recipe with specific ingredients and measurements it is totally adaptable to what you have on hand and what you want that night. The true and hard fast measurements are the liquid to pasta ratio. —Lianna Mills
