Healthy one-pot pasta recipes help streamline your dinner without sacrificing taste.
Growing up, pasta was not a staple meal in my house. My dad doesn’t like tomatoes, so a classic dish red sauce never came to our dinner table. Even with other sauces, my mom never makes pasta. According to my father, the nature of tomato still linger. But when I entered college, I was introduced to the world of good based on carb.
