Chef's Notes
“The key to one-pot pasta is getting the liquid ratio right. I use exactly 3 cups of liquid per 350g of dried pasta.”

Made this for a dinner party and everyone wanted the recipe. It's impressive enough for guests but easy enough for Tuesday night.
Five stars! The flavour combination is spot on. I added a little extra garlic because that's how we like it, and it was incredible.
This is now our go-to weeknight dinner. Ready in under 30 minutes and tastes like it took hours. My kids ask for seconds every time.
