That, my friends, is how you know you live in the midwest . . .
When 32 degrees feels like a heat wave.
It *almost* felt like flip flop weather.
Almost. đ
Today, itâs back to back 20 degrees, but this weekend itâs supposed to be 60 and sunny!
To celebrate?
One Pot Spring Pasta of course!
One dish wonders are where itâs at â>you can see ALL our one pot recipes here.
I love them for so many reasons:
- Ummm less dishes. Who doesnât love that?!
- Minimal prep. (Usually.)
- Quick. This pasta comes together in like 20 minutes.
- Versatile.One pot pastas. Sheet pan chicken dinners. Etc.
I love todayâs recipe, in particular, because the only âprepâ is choppingsome asparagus. #winning
Once the asparagus is chopped, youâllthrow everything into a large stockpot: whole grain large shells, veggie broth, white wine, garlic herb goat cheese, the asparagus, and peas.
Bring this to a simmer, cook for about 12 minutes â or until the pasta is cooked to your liking â and in the last 2 minutes, youâll stir in a touch of parmesan.
Then youâll serve it up and top it with a little chopped cilantro and toasted pine nuts and. . .
You guys.
Thatâs it.
I mean. It doesnât get easier than that!
You could totally throw in some chicken (or check out THISone pot pasta recipe), but I wanted to keep todayâsOne Pot Spring Pasta Recipe vegetarian, light,and fresh!
Although this is a pretty light recipe â whole grain shells with just a bitof cheese â itâs ridiculously creamy, because the pasta gets cooked IN the veggie broth and soaks it all up.
Creamy. Light. Fresh. Loaded with spring vegetables. Less than 30minutes from start to finish.
This One Pot Spring Pasta will surely be making a regular appearance at our dinner table!

I canât wait to make this. It sounds so yummy. Iâm wondering how far ahead it could be made without drying out? Could it be made in the morning and reheated in the afternoon?

I donât like goat or feta cheese, so can I use more Parmesan or add monzerrela?
Reply
Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy
Hi Jade! Swap the goat for garlic herb cream cheese. đ

Iâve never really liked asparagus until last summer when I got some in my pasta at a restaurant, so now Iâm tempted to make more asparagus pasta dishes. Thanks!
