17 One-Pot Pastas to Save Your Tuesday Night

We probably don’t have to introduce you to the miraculous nature of the one-pot pasta. You’ve likely seen it: Dry pasta goes into a pan along with some add-ins, plus a few cups water or broth to cook together, with fewer dishes at the end. We have these classic, easy pasta recipes, as well as boiled noodles tossed with no-cook sauces for hot summer nights, and pastas that start on the stove before heading to the oven for a melty, cheesy finish.

Sweet Potato Cornbread Recipe

This sweet potato cornbread recipe comes together quickly. After just 12 minutes in the microwave—though it also works with a leftover baked sweet potato (or canned sweet potato purée)—the tubers emerge soft and steamy, ready to be mashed and whisked into the wet ingredients. Much like regular cornbread, you can take this recipe in a savory or sweet direction: Top with melted butter and maple syrup, or add minced chives and serve with a warm bowl of chili. Or make them into cornbread muffins.

No-Bake Chocolate Oat Cookies

When it's too hot to turn on the oven, or you're craving something sweet and chewy, make these easy, no-bake cookies. They're not your average stovetop chocolate oat drops. For one thing, they're peanut butter-free (using almond butter instead). Next, they get crunchy toasted almonds for amped-up flavor and texture. Third, chewy dried cherries provide a burst of acidity and give a bit of an oatmeal raisin vibe. Finally, they’re dusted in a blanket of cocoa for a well-rounded chocolate flavor.

Mac And Cheese Creamy

3-Ingredient Parm Pasta

This is the easiest pasta recipe you'll ever make. It's a weeknight wonder that takes just 3 ingredients to make: Parmesan, olive oil, and pasta. While it might seem impossible to make a restaurant-quality sauce with just olive oil and cheese, this technique proves otherwise. Combining grated Parmesan, cold water, and a glug of oil in a blender creates a velvety sauce that perfectly clings to pasta. This pasta is reminiscent of grown-up mac and cheese: creamy, savory, and irrefutably comforting.
