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!

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆

2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much bette 2022 is coming to an end! It has been a much better year for me personally. We traveled a bit more (Denver, Monterey, Maine, & Boston) & ate lots of incredible food. I’m drooling just thinking about some of the food. Also, my parents flew in from HK. We finally got to see each other after 3 years. We spent time together & attended my sister’s wedding. And we all finally got covid. It’s looking like things are getting back to normal. I truly hope it is!

We first tried the sampler, but was most impressed by the galbi ones. We like the pork too, but the jalapeño one was way too spicy for my taste. It actually has half of a jalapeño in it.🔥
