Weekdays are busy. They're also really long. And even though we all have to eat, making dinner at the end of a workday is the last thing we want to do. Right? If you're nodding your head in agreement, we have good news: We have found a simple dinner option. Let us introduce you to our new favorite super-easy, one pot pasta recipes.

No, "one pot" does NOT mean that you boil your pasta in a pot, drain it, and cook your sauce in the same pot. It means you literally throw all the ingredients in one pot -- pasta, sauce and all -- and cook it all at once. Do you know what that means? Fewer steps, and so little clean up. Consider your weeknights saved.
