One Pot Pasta with Cook-In Sauce is a Delightfully Delicious and Time Saving Pasta, that makes for a Great Side Dish or As a meal for those lazy days. Besides, who wouldn’t want less washing up right, and this one pot wonder is just that. No separate pot for boiling your pasta, or another to prep your sauce, no draining of pasta needed.
Right now, I am so glad I learned this technique of preparing pasta this way, some 6-7 years ago. This One Pot Pasta makes for a quick meal prep, perfect for an impromptu braai, as a side dish, when you have unexpected guests at around meal time. I also whip this one up quickly on a self-catering holiday, all I need is a ready store bought sauce powder or the amount in weight mentioned of cornstarch. With simple pantry ingredients, like pasta, milk, and sauce powder, you too can whip up this One Pot Pasta Wonder, in less than 15 minutes. Whether you opt to have it as a creamy Alfredo or Mushroom Alfredo style, or even as mac and cheese option, I am going to show you how to wow your family and guests in a jiffy.

NOTES BY FOODEVA MARSAY
~ If you prefer, you can use Cornstarch(maizena) instead of the ready sauce powder. Use the same weight as mentioned. Ensure you season your pasta well when using Cornstarch. .
~ Half Milk/Half Water ratio also works. .
