One Pot Dinner Recipe
Hey, I’m all about the One Pot meals. Who in their right mind wants to wash dishes!?!? Not me.
Confession: Some nights I make sandwiches for dinner just so I don’t have dishes to wash. {okay, many nights}
Okay, okay, since I’m confessing . . . some night I’m too lazy to even make a sandwich. I put together an assortment of fruit, cheese and crackers and serve it to my 4 year old as a ‘Snack Dinner’. By the way, that is her favorite meal. I’m not sure if I should be offended by that.
It’s nice to have some easy, mess-free dinner options for those lazy nights. Although, I still make sandwiches for dinner on the regular.
Don’t Judge!
Serve this hearty and nutritious One Pot Lasagna Casserole with a dollop of fresh ricotta cheese, a sprinkle of parmesan and fresh basil. {How To Make Ricotta}
Pull up a chair, grab your forks because . . . Dinner Is Served.

One pot meals are the best! Less dishes = successful dinner in my book!
My thoughts exactly!
This was really good! I kind of just winged it. I added bacon and used fresh herbs and tomatoes. I had cheese ravioli on hand so it ended up beingmore liquidy than it was probably supposed to be but we added a nice crusty bread to sop up the juices and it was perfect. Topped it with a little fresh grated parmesan and boom…. dinner.
Bacon makes everything better, right!?! Sounds great, Reanna. Glad you liked it!
Love this! Do you think it can be done in a crock pot?
Thanks Hannah! I’m not sure about the crockpot method. I’ve only made it on the stovetop. I imagine it will work. Just add the pasta to cook shortly before serving. Let me know if you give it a try.
