Author Notes

I took the challenge to off-road Martha Stewart’s One Pan Pasta recipe, especially since I’m a new mom and living off of dry shampoo, a fast recipe is worth it’s weight in gold. Full disclosure, I had never attempted this pasta before...made the original version first and felt it needed more flavor and cooked onions. I chose to off-road it by giving it, what I like to call, the Indian Temper Treatment. Still keeping with the ‘One Pot’ theme, I tempered in cumin, black mustard seeds, asafetida, and curry leaves in hot oil and cooked the onions. The temper only added a few minutes to the cook time. The end result? Where has this been my whole life!!
