One Pot Lunch

I keep seeing recipes for one pot pasta dishes all over Pinterest (you know like this one, or that one) and I finally decided to try and create one for lunch today. I took the risk of making a single portion, just to see how it'd turn out. I've gotta say...I sort of love this concept and will keep trying different veggie combos!


One Pot Pasta Lunch
Serves One
Estimated Point Value: 4 pts.

2 oz Spaghetti
6 oz Chicken Stock
2 oz Mushrooms, sliced
2 oz Broccoli, chopped
1 Tbsp Peas
1 Tbsp Corn
2 fresh Basil leaves, chopped
1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper, to taste

  1. I used my trusty kitchen scale for all the ingredient measuring (except for the liquid) then popped a lid on the pan.
  2. Bring the contents up to a boil, stir and cook until the noodles are done and the liquid is absorbed.
  3. Sprinkle on the parmesan and enjoy!


Update: 7/22/2014

Today I tried the following combination:

2 oz Spaghetti
6 oz Chicken Stock
2 oz Mushrooms, sliced
2 oz Spinach, frozen chopped
2 oz Cherry Tomatos, quartered
3 fresh Basil leaves, chopped
1 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
Garlic Salt, to taste

Delicious! Next time I try this combo, I may swap the Parmesan for Feta, I bet that'd be delicious too!
