This is a simple chicken pasta made in one pot. This is one of the easiest and fastest recipes for easy dinner. You can try this recipe with a variety of pasta types.
Method
While Tuscan chicken pasta is traditionally made with a thick tomato sauce with onions, celery and basil, here I’ve simplified and condensed the sauce and used one cooking pot to make the pasta and sauce, all in one pot. I’ve kept the consistency and texture of the original Tuscan recipe, but I’ve added basil, tomatoes, red pepper, and chicken, to make this a “gusto” recipe.
Chicken Ingredients
This recipe calls for very few ingredients. The secret to this recipe is using a low temperature oven. While this will cook the chicken a bit faster, you’ll also be able to cook the pasta faster as well. It’s also important to add the pasta first, as it cooks faster than the chicken.

What are the benefits of cooking in one pot?
With multiple cooking methods, it can be difficult to create a dish that’s a perfect flavor. With one pot, it’s much easier to get everything cooked to the same temperature. Plus, dishes take less time to cook. This is because you’re not waiting on multiple pots to boil or bake the food. This method also eliminates the risk of undercooked or overcooked food. Another advantage of cooking in one pot is that there’s less chance of food sticking to the pot. Plus, there’s less cleanup.
