One Pot Creamy Veggie Pasta Recipes

ONE-POT CREAMY CHICKEN BACON VEGGIE PASTA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large pot, crisp the bacon on medium heat.
• Drain excess grease so there's about 3 tablespoons left in the pot.
• Add in the chicken, season with half of the seasoned salt and pepper, and cook.
• Once the chicken is nicely browned, remove it from the pan but leave the bacon.
• Add in the onion and asparagus. Stir until the onions begin to become translucent.
• Add the garlic and spinach. Stir until spinach is wilted.
• Add in the sun-dried tomatoes and season with remaining salt and pepper.
• Pour milk over veggie and bacon mixture, and bring to a boil. Stir periodically so the bottom does not burn.
• Once milk is bubbling, add pasta and stir frequently until pasta reaches your desired doneness (approximately 10 minutes at medium heat).
• Stir in chicken and parmesan cheese and mix until cheese is melted.
• Enjoy!

ONE-POT CREAMY PASTA AND GREENS

Steps:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Add the 5 cups milk, spinach, lemon peel and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the frozen spinach with your spoon, until the spinach is softened and the milk is just simmering, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Add the pasta and cook, stirring often and vigorously, until the pasta is al dente, 20 to 25 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer. If it looks dry at any point, add more milk. The mixture will continue to thicken as it sits, so it's OK if the sauce looks a little soupy.
• Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat, discard the lemon peels, and stir in the Parmesan until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve with more Parmesan.
