Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were wonderful and that your 2017 is filled with adventure and fun! I know we are all kinds of busy. The holidays were crazy and heading into the new year is just as crazy busy. One thing I really hate is having to use every pot and pan in my kitchen to make one meal. That is one reason I love my slow cooker and my pressure cooker. But if you don’t own one of these convenience appliances then the next best thing is a one pan meal! I love one pan meals! today I am sharing our family’s favorite One Pan Cheesy Garlic Pasta Dinner!
This Barilla® Pronto™ pasta is everything it states it is. Barilla Pronto Pasta is a product innovation that allows for one-pan meals to be created with no need to wait for water to boil, and no draining required I think this is my favorite part. The pasta cooks perfectly and did I mention, no draining. I hate having to cook my pasta in one pot and the sauce in another. My kitchen looks like a bomb went off when I cook a pasta meal! It cooks within ten minutes in one pan. I was skeptical at first about this but it cooks perfectly in one pan. No waiting for the water to boil, you heard that right. Put the pasta in the pan with COLD water. No need to drain the pasta absorbs the water perfectly. And this really really blew my mind. Barilla Pronto maintains its shape and texture no soggy mushy pasta. I love this!
I promise Barilla® Pronto™ pasta will not disappoint! It is perfect for those weeknight meals when you are in a rush, and it is just so good.
