Our favourite one-pot pastas for busy weeknights

Busy weeknights call for easy meals that don't require much clean up.

We've compiled our favourite one-pot dishes to satisfy the whole family.

Dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes is more than possible with this one-pot pasta — in fact, it's guaranteed.

The pasta soaks up all the flavours as it cooks, and it also creates an irresistibly creamy sauce, thanks to the starchiness of the pasta.

This simple recipe cuts out the need to pre-boil the pasta.

Simply sear the chicken, toss in a pack of store-bought gnocchi, remaining ingredients and bake.

For even less prep, use chicken tenderloins instead of breast fillets.

This easy lemon orzo is packed with lots of spring vegetables, from asparagus to sugar snap peas. And it can be tweaked to your liking.

You can omit vegetables you don't enjoy and add whatever needs using up in your fridge.

Inspired by the Italian dish known as spaghetti all'ubriaco, or "drunken" pasta, this is a one-pot dish in which the pasta is cooked in a red wine bath, which enables the fruity sweetness to permeate each strand of pasta.

The brown butter is the triumphant finish to this beautiful currant-hued dish, with the crispy sage and walnuts bringing irresistible earthy, nutty notes.
