Preparations for One Pot Pasta
Next, heat up a large pan with a dash of oil, add the onions and garlic to the pan & sweat for 2 – 3 minutes over medium heat, then add the carrots and kohlrabi and fry briefly with turning.
When that’s done, add 500 grams of fusilli pasta to the pan & also pour in 500 milliliters each of water and milk as well as 200 milliliters of cream. Season the pasta with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon each of thyme and rosemary & then give everything a good stir and bring to a boil.
One Pot Pasta with Veggies
Allow to the pasta to simmer gently with the lid closed for about 10 – 12 minutes over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally from time to time, so that all ingredients are well distributed and nothing can burn to the bottom of the pan.
As soon as the fusilli are cooked & the liquid has almost completely absorbed, season the one pot pasta with freshly ground pepper to taste, also add the frozen peas & 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese & stir well one last time, then pull the pan off the heat. Spread the one pot pasta on deep plates and serve immediately. Have fun cooking!
