One Pot = easy!
Pasta = comfort food!
Potpourri = delicious with whatever pasta, beans, and veggies you have on hand!
If you’ve never inhaled the magic of one-pot pasta, you will find yourself enchanted after the first serving… and then there’s only one pot to clean! Best win/win ever. Choose to layer whatever colorful, fresh vegetables make you happy. This recipe calls for kale and broccoli because you know Dr. Kristi is obsessed with sulforaphane, but zucchini, red pepper and mushrooms will make an amazing phytonutrient-rich meal, too. Cannellini beans substitute well for garbanzos. Don’t forget to stir often to prevent sticking – that’s why we suggest short pastas, so if all you have is long pasta like spaghetti, then snap it into 2-inch strands. Layer, add water/broth, boil, and serve. So fast, so yummy!

1 tsp 1 dried thyme

- Put all of the vegetables side-by-side on top of the pasta in the pan.

- Heat the pan on low for about 1 minute, then add the broth.
- Get the broth up to a low boil and stir occasionally until the pasta and veggies are done. It’s OK if there is a little liquid left. Once it is shut off it will absorb and if it doesn’t it is a nice sauce.
