Zucchini and Smoked Pork Belly One Pot Pasta

One year or more after everybody else, I made my own one pot pasta. I’m not a huge fan of following each new trend, but suddenly I wanted to try this one, just like this… So today you’ll have zucchini and smoked pork belly one pot pasta!

Okay, I won’t be long on that topic since you probably already now how it works: put every raw ingredient in a large sauce pan and cook everything together.

The only thing I can tell is that I tested this recipe (of course !!) and I vouch for it. I read quite a few comments here and there about cooking or taste issues. This recipe works and it’s true that it’s really yummy.

The longest part is to prepare the ingredients (peeling and cutting), then you cook the whole thing and mix once or twice. I could say that it’s the ideal dish for a week dinner when you have to deal with everything with kids in the middle of it!!

Interested?

The recipe, Chef!

Notes

You can make several variations to this recipe. This is why I also introduced it as "vegan". The cooking time can change depending on which pasta you choose. The usual cooking tim for Fusilli is 7 minutes in boiling water, we switch to 15 minutes with the one pot pasta recipe.
