Surprised no one's mentioned "one-pot pasta" recipes yet, where you cook veggies / sauce, and just drop raw pasta into the pot while the water is cooking off.

Surprised no one's mentioned "one-pot pasta" recipes yet, where you cook veggies / sauce, and just drop raw pasta into the pot while the water is cooking off. The pasta comes out starchier since you're not throwing away the starch water, and it tastes great, but definitely "different" from a "real" Italian pasta dish. Still great though! Italians view this as sacrilege but it's great fwiw.
