One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta

November 13, 2014 By Lokness 7 Comments

One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta 1 | The Missing Lokness

Do you hate washing dishes? I really do!!!

My current apartment doesn’t have a dish washer. I tend to create tons of dishes after every meal. It is depressing to see piles of dishes in the sink. I know I shouldn’t, but I usually leave my dishes overnight and tackle them the next day. I really admire my mom who cooks and washes all the dishes by herself every night after coming home from a long day of work. I am so spoiled! 😛 Our new condo has a dish washer. It will be so nice to sit and watch my dishes being clean. I am waiting for that day!

But yea, if you hate dishes, this pasta dish is designed for you. The only tools you need to make this dish is one large pot and a spatula. There is also very little chopping. “Little” means one. The basil is the one thing you need to cut. The total cook time is within 30 minutes. The sauce was thick, creamy and rich. The pasta was al dente. No matter how busy you are or how lazy you feel, this pasta dish will fit in your life perfectly!

Condo update: We got all the mold cleaned off. We passed the air test. Now, we are finally putting back the bathroom together. If everything goes as planned, we are hoping to move in by the end of this month. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta 2| The Missing Lokness

 

One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta (Adapted from Kirbie’s Cravings)

3 servings

Ingredients:

–   ½ pound lean ground turkey

–   10 ounce dried short shape pasta (uncooked)

–   1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes

–   2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth

–   ½ cup heavy cream

–   dash of red pepper flakes

–   fresh basil (thinly sliced)

–   olive oil

–   salt

–   ground black pepper

–   grated Parmesan (optional)

Directions:

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, warm 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add the turkey and cook until golden brown. Add pasta, tomatoes, chicken broth, heavy cream and pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat down to medium. Partially cover with a lid and cook for 10 – 12 minutes until the pasta is tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid and cook uncover for another 4 – 6 minutes until the sauce is thicken and reduced. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving plates and top with fresh basil and grated Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  1. 10-ounce is more pasta than I would cook normally. But since the ratio between the liquid and pasta is essential, I suggest you follow the recipe. If there is leftover, save them for next day.
  2. Feel free to add your favorite herbs while cooking. I like adding a bit of oregano.

    So glad to hear you’ve had good progress with the condo. Hope you can move in soon and settle down. You know for years and years, we never used the dishwasher. When we first got married, it felt like we didn’t need it with just the 2 of us and I didn’t cook much then and we ordered out a lot. All I can say is that discovering the dishwasher is probably at least 50% responsible for me cooking so much more these days. My husband and I say that all the time. Either way, a one pot dish is still so awesome! I love your homemade creamy pasta here. Back when I didn’t use the dishwasher, I’d ‘make’ something like this with jar sauce! Yes, I said it! ; )

      Thanks so much Monica! Yea, things are finally going forward. 🙂 Haha, I think I would cook more too when I have a dishwasher! And haven’t we all used the jar sauce at least once? We were all once an amateur (I am saying that I am an expert now, but I believe my cooking is improving.) at one point, right? Have a great one!

    Although I love doing dishes (warm water is comforting and I like the process of dirty to clean… I know I’m weird!), I still love one pot dish!!! 😀 This looks amazing. I am saving this for after-trip meal. 🙂

      You know my sister likes doing dishes too! Whenever she is over for dinner, I would have a dishwashing fairy. 😀 Enjoy your trip!

    […] about new year, let’s talk about food! Ever since my first one pot pasta, I just couldn’t have enough. It is so easy and delicious. This one is not in a tomato sauce. […]

Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango p Growing up, I looked forward to my mom’s mango pudding every summer. That creamy & soft pudding is loaded w/ tons of fresh mangoes. My version is pretty much the same, but I switch out the mango-flavored gelatin mix for fresh mangoes. It tastes incredible & brings me back to my childhood right away! It was the perfect dessert when I was a kid, and it’s still the most satisfying dessert today! 🥭

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
