One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta

November 13, 2014 By Lokness 7 Comments

One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta 1 | The Missing Lokness

Do you hate washing dishes? I really do!!!

My current apartment doesn’t have a dish washer. I tend to create tons of dishes after every meal. It is depressing to see piles of dishes in the sink. I know I shouldn’t, but I usually leave my dishes overnight and tackle them the next day. I really admire my mom who cooks and washes all the dishes by herself every night after coming home from a long day of work. I am so spoiled! 😛 Our new condo has a dish washer. It will be so nice to sit and watch my dishes being clean. I am waiting for that day!

But yea, if you hate dishes, this pasta dish is designed for you. The only tools you need to make this dish is one large pot and a spatula. There is also very little chopping. “Little” means one. The basil is the one thing you need to cut. The total cook time is within 30 minutes. The sauce was thick, creamy and rich. The pasta was al dente. No matter how busy you are or how lazy you feel, this pasta dish will fit in your life perfectly!

Condo update: We got all the mold cleaned off. We passed the air test. Now, we are finally putting back the bathroom together. If everything goes as planned, we are hoping to move in by the end of this month. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta 2| The Missing Lokness

 

One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta (Adapted from Kirbie’s Cravings)

3 servings

Ingredients:

–   ½ pound lean ground turkey

–   10 ounce dried short shape pasta (uncooked)

–   1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes

–   2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

–   ½ cup heavy cream

–   dash of red pepper flakes

–   fresh basil (thinly sliced)

–   olive oil

–   salt

–   ground black pepper

–   grated Parmesan (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, warm 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the turkey and cook until golden brown. Add pasta, tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat down to medium. Partially cover with a lid and cook for 10 – 12 minutes until the pasta is tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and cook uncover for another 4 – 6 minutes until the sauce is thicken and reduced. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving plates and top with fresh basil and grated Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  1. 10-ounce is more pasta than I would cook normally. But since the ratio between the liquid and pasta is essential, I suggest you follow the recipe. If there is leftover, save them for next day.
  2. Feel free to add your favorite herbs while cooking. I like adding a bit of oregano.

    So glad to hear you’ve had good progress with the condo. Hope you can move in soon and settle down. You know for years and years, we never used the dishwasher. When we first got married, it felt like we didn’t need it with just the 2 of us and I didn’t cook much then and we ordered out a lot. All I can say is that discovering the dishwasher is probably at least 50% responsible for me cooking so much more these days. My husband and I say that all the time. Either way, a one pot dish is still so awesome! I love your homemade creamy pasta here. Back when I didn’t use the dishwasher, I’d ‘make’ something like this with jar sauce! Yes, I said it! ; )

      Thanks so much Monica! Yea, things are finally going forward. 🙂 Haha, I think I would cook more too when I have a dishwasher! And haven’t we all used the jar sauce at least once? We were all once an amateur (I am saying that I am an expert now, but I believe my cooking is improving.) at one point, right? Have a great one!

    Although I love doing dishes (warm water is comforting and I like the process of dirty to clean… I know I’m weird!), I still love one pot dish!!! 😀 This looks amazing. I am saving this for after-trip meal. 🙂

Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken t Bryan & I have been dreaming about these chicken tenders from Sesame Grill @sesamegrill_626 for a few days. These tenders are unlike any we had before. Crunchy crust, yet delicate & not too heavy. The meat is super juicy & soft. Very simple food, but really well executed! Sesame Grill was original a fine dining restaurant, they redid their menu because of the pandemic & started to sell tenders only. And that got really popular! Incredible story & hope they’ll continue do well. If you’re ever in the area, definitely check them out.

Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I ca Char Siu with Rice (叉燒飯) is a dish that I can never get enough. Since I didn’t live close to a Chinese restaurant for a long time, I have been making my own for years. This week, I finally reshot the photos & gave a quick update for the recipe. Juicy & tender pork coated in a slightly sweet BBQ sauce, then top them over some hot steamed rice with a sweet soy sauce. Every bite is so satisfying!

Almost every year, I make holiday treats for famil Almost every year, I make holiday treats for families, friends & Bryan’s coworkers. (Except last year, because we just moved to Northern California.)🎁 Year after year, I was told that their favorites are the marshmallows! 
.
Homemade marshmallows are really something special. Soft & pillowy, and they’re usually less sweet & flavored. I have 3 flavored marshmallow recipes on the blog, chocolate, raspberry & orange. Chocolate is no doubt the most popular. If you prefer something fruity, raspberry is the one to go. If you’re looking for something unique, definitely try the orange. 
.
Don’t ask me to pick a favorite, because I do love them all. Another plus about marshmallows is that they last for at least 2 weeks (likely longer), so you have plenty of time to give them out to friends or finish them yourself!
