Another one pot pasta approach: this time we don’t use any Mediterranean herbs, but seafood flavours & cream for an absolutely creamy finish.

Imagine you are coming home after a stressful day in the office or in your shop … This heavenly pasta dish will take you less than half an hour!

What do we need?

It’s merely:

For seafood stock rely on your trusted food store – shrimps come out of the freezer. (You should defrost them … it doesn’t take too much time!)

So: we now chop the vegetables & mix stock, cream & saffron.

We start w/ frying the chopped vegetables in some olive oil for about 4-5 min. Then we add the shrimps & the cream mix.

Add the spaghetti – make sure before starting that the pan is large enough for the spaghetti!

Bring the mess to a boil & let it simmer for some minutes until the spaghetti are soft – as soft as you like it. The liquid will be soaked up …

It’s time now to summarize all about one pot pasta:

Always use pasta suitable for easy & fast cooking (no chunky pasta!).
The pasta in a one pot pasta approach always needs some more minutes than in plain boiling water.
Water is fine in most cases, but sometimes a stock is recommended for stronger flavouring.
A strong flavoring is always essential for one pot pasta affairs.
All pasta is made for 2 people (maybe 3). Therefore a pan is right. If you want to produce more – much more – then rely on a solid pot.
It is meant to be a light & quick weekday dinner.
Do always w/o meat which generally needs a longer frying time. The same is valid for any „solid“ vegetables.
Rely on dried herbs because of the flavoring & cooking in liquid.
Rely on grated cheese or cream if you think you’ll need more creaminess.

Best of all: there is only a pan to be cleaned afterwards (besides the bowls/plates…)!
