One pan means there's no hassle to pre-sauté your onions, no need to roast your tomatoes and no need to drain your pasta. Say what? Pasta that doesn't need to be drained? That's right. As the pasta cooks, it absorbs the water as well as all the flavors from the fresh ingredients. Less than 15 minutes of cook time and only one pan to clean up means more time for you to enjoy your delectable dish. Even your Italian grandmother will be asking for seconds.
