Unfortunately, I didn't have the right ingredients. So, I took the chance of using what I had: orzo for the pasta, chicken broth, veggies, some white wine.... The result? A winner! The pasta and vegetables were tender and well covered in a flavorful sauce - reminiscent of Risotto. Couldn't be easier.
One-Pot Pasta
Ingredients:
- 12 oz dry pasta (I used orzo)
- 1 large head of Swiss Chard - stems sliced and leaves cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 can of chick peas (undrained - use the liquid as well)
- 2 large cloves garlic (chopped)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup diced tomatoes in juice
- 4-6 small carrots, sliced
- crushed red pepper flakes
- 32 oz broth (I used organic chicken broth)
- 1/2 cup or more of dry white wine
- 1 tbsp high-quality olive oil
- lemon juice

2. Stir frequently and well. When the mix reaches a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Stir every few minutes to ensure that the pasta isn't sticking.
3. When the liquid is almost gone and the pasta is tender (10 -15 minutes or longer, depending on the type of pasta), remove from heat. Stir in a tbsp or two of lemon juice to taste and serve in bowls.
Notes: This is what I call a "loosey-goosey" recipe, meaning that you can be flexible. More broth, less wine. Maybe some other liquid instead. Any sort of pasta will do, as will any sort of vegetables -- mix and match. Same with the seasonings. Try oregano and basil for an Italian flavor, or cilantro and chili for a Mexican one. Be creative!
Often preparations like this one will be savored by leftover specialists like me. But in this case, the others in the household beat me to it. Hence I can't speak to the marination that probably took place in the hours before this delicious mashup was all gone.
