This pasta with marinara sauce, heaps of fresh vegetables, basil, and capers is a new favorite dinner recipe for summer. This magical pasta is made all in one single saute pan and doesn't even require pasta water to be drained! You may have seen other one-pot pasta recipes circulating on Pinterest. The one-pot method really is a game changer for busy pasta nights. Essentially, the dry pasta is simmered with just enough water for cooking and any other ingredients.
Last summer I discovered that my family loves ratatouille. Eggplant, zucchini, red peppers, and other summer vegetables come together to create a surprisingly comforting dish. This one-pot pasta recipe was inspired in part by ratatouille. Many of the same vegetables are cooked in much the same way in this recipe. While many one-pot pasta recipes call for cooking the vegetables in the water with the pasta, this one works best when the veggies are sauteed to perfection and then added back to the pasta. We don't want overcooked zucchini here.
