There are times when you have to get a meal on the table in a very short amount of time. That’s the beauty of this vegetarian recipe: One Pan Pasta. Everything is assembled in a large fry pan and cooks in under 10 minutes. Now that’s fast.

10 Minute One Pan Pasta recipe is a vegetarian dish. But, you can add your favorite Italian sausage, pepperoni or ground beef with no problem.

Love veggies? Add whatever you like, including spinach, broccoli, zucchini and mushrooms. And, if you want to alter your noodle type from whole wheat pasta to Japanese Soban noodles, you can.

Now for the recipe…

The secret to this recipe’s success is using a deep fry pan to place all of the ingredients in.

RELATED: Classic Minestrone Soup with Sausage

First, start with one pound of pasta (plain or wheat, works well), some chopped tomatoes, onions, fresh basil, garlic, a few pepper flakes, extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper.

You will be cooking this dish on medium-high to high heat. So once you turn on the burner, it’s best if you keep watch over the pasta from start to finish.

Cooking Tip: I like to use a pair of tongs to keep the pasta cook evenly and also from sticking together.

After 10 minutes, test your pasta for doneness (think al dente) then remove the pasta from the heat.

Plate. Serve. Enjoy!
