Stews are fantastic, aren't they? They always taste excellent and significantly cut down on the dishes. If you're looking for a quick meal that's delicious and practical at the same time, try this One-Pot Pasta. The imagination knows no bounds, and you even save yourself the hassle of washing an extra pot or strainer.

Ingredients (example, feel free to unleash your creativity):

- Pasta (e.g., Spaghetti, Penne, Farfalle)

- Pasta sauce (e.g., Tomato sauce, Basil sauce, Meat sauce, Cheese sauce, Seafood sauce in White wine)

- Water

- Salt

Instructions:

1. Prepare Pasta and Sauce: Choose your favorite pasta sauce and pour it into a wide pan or pot. You can use classic tomato-basil sauce, spicy meat sauce, creamy cheese sauce, or even seafood sauce in white wine. Let your imagination run wild!

2. Add Pasta: Place the pasta directly into the pan or pot with the sauce. Make sure the pasta is fully covered by the sauce.

3. Add Water: Pour water over the pasta until it is completely covered. The water aids in cooking the pasta and dilutes as it cooks, simultaneously absorbing the sauce.

4. Salt: Salt according to taste to round off the flavor.

5. Cook: Heat the pan or pot over medium heat and cook the pasta according to the instructions on the pasta packaging. Stir occasionally to ensure the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom.

6. Pasta Test: Check towards the end of the cooking time if the pasta is al dente. The starch from the pasta thickens the sauce, making it deliciously creamy.

7. Serve: Once the pasta reaches the desired consistency, serve it directly from the pan or pot. You save yourself the trouble of washing an extra pot or strainer.

With this method, you can whip up a delicious pasta meal in no time, and the best part is that you only need one pot. Enjoy experimenting with various pasta creations!
