One Pot Vegetable Pasta Primavera (great for busy nights!)

One pot meals are so great for busy nights. This one pot pasta primavera is simple and tasty. 

Despite having about 10 different jobs and working constantly, at my core I’m a pretty lazy person. I’m not afraid of hard work, but I would prefer to live more leisurely if I had the chance. The Hubs claims that he’ll never retire; that he wants to work forever, but I think constantly about the fastest route to retirement so I can live my dream lazy life as soon as possible.

I love to spend all day creating in the kitchen, but sometimes life outside the kitchen takes over and demands all my attention. On these days I like to use my arsenal of lazy person shortcuts to ensure that I still get something filling and healthy to eat .

One Pot Vegetable Pasta Primavera

This one pot vegetable pasta primavera is the perfect meal for hectic days. Just fill a pot with any combination of pasta, veggies & spices, and put it on the stove. Dinner is ready in under 20 minutes, you get to use up any food odds and ends, and you only have to clean one pot. It’s a winning combination all around. In fact, it’s probably easier than getting take out, and certainly healthier. Never again can you use the excuse that you don’t have time to cook. Even the busiest (or laziest) person can easily make this meal in no time.
