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 last night and my family loved it! The sauce was perfect and so easy to make. Will definitely be adding this to our regular rotation.
This recipe is a keeper. Great balance of flavours and the cooking times are spot on. My new favourite pasta dish.
So glad I found this recipe. The instructions are clear and the result is consistently great. I've made it four times already.
Restaurant quality at home. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out amazing. The pasta water trick really makes the sauce come together.
