This Healthy One-Pot Pasta Recipe Will Be Your New Dinner Hero

Maybe you're the kind of person who lives for your next recipe -- you pore over cookbooks to find your next project, and you take painstakingly styled Instagram photos of each plate you build. Or maybe you're the kind of person who can't even be bothered to throw a packet of instant ramen into a boiling pot of water, so you just munch on it raw (which is delicious, by the way).  But no matter who you are, the last thing thing you want to do at the end of a long day is stand in front of a stove one second longer than you have to. And if you're feeling that sort of way, you probably hate doing dishes even more. Enter: one-pot pasta. The magic of one-pot pasta isn't just that you make it all in one pot -- it's that you never have to clean out the pot or drain the pasta until the entire recipe has been completed. You throw all your ingredients in, bring it to a simmer, and wait 9 minutes for your dinner to be done.  Here's our favorite way to keep it healthy, but you can alter the recipe to suit your tastes.
