October is designated as National Pasta Month, with October 17 recognized as National Pasta Day. Though they aren’t only celebrated by runners, we can’t help but wonder if the national day and month organizers had us in mind when they invented this theme. It is, after all, a time dedicated to the best carb-loading, pre-race food around. If you thought making pasta couldn’t get any easier, you’ve probably never tried a one-pot pasta recipe. Quite simply, all of the ingredients for this flavorful pasta dish cook in just one pot. It’s a quick, no-fuss meal for any night of the week–and the best part is, there’s barely any cleanup.
