You only dirty 1 dish and there are only 2 steps to this one pot pasta recipe!

Eeeek! It’s gonna be a good day. 🙂

I feel like I’m a broken record, but you guyyyyys it’s so hot outside! So hot that sometimes I’ll let my mind wander and I find myself wishing for cooler weather. We all know how much I’m going to regret that come December. Especially now, since we moved back to the midwest… hello sub-zero temperatures. Womp. Womp.

But for now, it’s hot and I’m all about recipes that don’t require me to turn on the oven or slave over a hot stove for more than a few minutes. One pot pasta tooooo the rescue!

If I’m being real with you though, this one pot pasta with chicken and goat cheese was born out of compromise.

I wanted my go-to pasta and red sauce. Yes. Like the jarred stuff. I can’t help it. It’s a guilty pleasure that I’ll ♡ forever! 🙈 Don’t hate me!

Trevor, however, wanted something slightly less processed 😉 and a little more substantial.

Both of us had zero energy, and I was seriously dreading cleaning up the kitchen if I was going to make anything more complicated than pasta and red sauce. But I decided to compromise, so I basically just threw everything into one pot. A little bit of this…a touch of that. I closed my eyes, crossed my fingers, hoped for the best…and just went with it.

Well.

If there was ever a time to say “winner winner chicken dinner”… NOW would be that time. 😉

This was definitely one of those “clean out the fridge” dinners, but what it turned in to, really blew me away.

Like I said, you need 1 pot. 1 POT, people. I just can’t get over it! Only one dirty dish after I’m done cooking? It’s like a cooks dream come true.

Then you only need to do 2 things to make this one pot pasta with chicken and goat cheese.

Step One: Saute chicken and mushrooms in your pot.

Step Two: Dump in everything else.

The everything else includes diced tomatoes, white wine, chicken broth, rigatoni, garlic, goat cheese, and dried basil.

This comes to a simmer. The chicken gets tender and the noodles soak up all of that super tasty sauce.

And then, ok I lied a little, there is one more step.

After the sauce has thickened, the noodles are tender, and the chicken has cooked through, you need to stir in a little parmesan cheese. You can totally handle that. 😉

The result is a super creamy, a little bit tangy, really filling one pot pasta that really did impress both Trevor and I!

1 dirty dish, chicken, pasta, wine…what’s not to love?
