Notes
- I use gluten-free pasta that cooks fast
- But this recipe used pasta that the cooking time was 11 mins
- If the pasta cooks for 11-12 minutes, then add the pasta in the cooking onions with spices add broth or water and cook halfway after the boiling takes place before adding veggies unless you are using hard to cook veggies like carrots that you can cook along with the pasta.
- Chop your veggies in small sizes so they can cook fast especially with pasta that has a short cooking duration.
- Cut off the heat 1-2 minutes before the indicated time on the pasta packaging; this is because the pasta will continue cooking even after you cut off the heat.
- Don't serve the one-pot vegetable pasta immediately, let the pasta cool down and absorb the cooking liquid.
- I use 1 cup of water/broth for a cup of pasta. If this doesn't work well for you because of the different ranges of pasta, please do adjust the liquid.
