This is a classic winter comfort food supper.
I did not follow the recipe below exactly, and that's fine, that is what I like about this meal is that you add or subtract whatever you like. If you stick close to this, though, the meal delivers a really great blend of flavors. The sugar is a nice touch. I added some carrots and squash, but basically stuck to the spices listed. I was tempted to add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to give this dish an extra kick, but figured my daughters might not like that as much as I, so I resisted the temptation. But you can try it.
🍝 Amish and Pasta
Pasta is often seen as an Italian creation and perhaps it is, but the Amish have definitely embraced homemade pasta - especially noodles - as their own. Most noodles just take eggs, flour, and salt and some patience and you have a delicious dish.
Their diet revolves around self-sufficiency and locally-grown foods. They often make their own egg noodles, which are similar to pasta, and sometimes even other types like ravioli or lasagna.
📋 Step-by-Step One Pot Pasta
As you are sizzling your veggies in a pan or skillet, you can add other veggies like broccoli, fresh spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes. And broth and cook for about 15 minutes over medium heat. You can put butter in the skillet instead of olive oil and put a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of black pepper and some fresh basil in it is delicious.
This pasta dish doesn't have to be made with spaghetti, you can use rotini, penne pasta, or noodles. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the spaghetti and it is delicious. Leftovers of this supper can be stored in an airtight container and put in the fridge. Out of all the one-pot pasta recipes I've tried this is one of the best and most flavorful.
Chicken thighs or Italian sausage can be paired with this pasta to make it a more meaty meal.

Hello, I was just reading this recipe. You may want to remove steps 6-10 as they are repeating steps 1-5 and renumber 11 & 12.
Love seeing all of these recipes. I am formally from Southern Illinois (live in Florida now) and there is an Amish Community living there. I went to a Amish vegetable market one day to get some zucchini to make a Zucchini Pie. The woman running the stand had never heard of it before. So I went back home and copied the recipe and took it to her. Don't know if she ever made it or not.

Thanks, Carrie, for pointing out the recipe repetition, I'll fix that this week! Where is the Amish community that you went to the vegetable market? I am sure she loved getting the recipe for zucchini pie!
Karla
It says 6 cups broth in the ingredients and 4 cups broth in the instructions. Is it 4 or 6 cups? I am looking forward to making this, it sounds yummy and easy.
Kevin Williams
Oops, sorry, Karla, it should be 4 - 6 cups, split the difference and go with 5 and you'll be good. I hope you enjoy it!
