Creamy One Pot Pork Pasta – one of the easiest and tastiest pasta dishes all cooked in one pot with just a few simple ingredients.

I had some pork loins in the fridge that needed to be used up. I was originally planning on a tray bake of some sort, but it was one of those weeks where nothing really went to plan.

and so with the pork loins needing to be cooked and the family really craving a comforting bowl of pasta. So I settled for a quick throw it all in one pan pasta dish that truly turned out amazing.

One pot pasta dishes are my favourite kinda meal. When it’s late and we need a quick dinner, the last thing I want is lots of pots and pans and mess to clean up afterwards. With these kinds of dishes, it really is just one pan, even the pasta cooks in the same pot. The starch from the pasta really helps the sauce too.

The kids loved the sauce of this Creamy One Pot Pork Pasta, all homemade and ready in minutes. I can’t remember the last time I used a ready-made jar of pasta sauce, because really why would you? It’s so easy and quick to make a homemade one with a few ingredients that the majority of us have on hand and much healthier because you can control what you add to the sauce.

I used Strozzapreti pasta, but you can use any shape pasta of your choice. This Creamy One Pork Pasta is a great way to use up the veg before doing your grocery shop. Spinach, peppers, tomatoes etc would all be great it this dish. I added mushrooms and canned tomatoes as well as the usual onion and garlic because it was what I had.

Most of my dishes combine ingredients that need to be used up because I hate wasting food. At the end of the week, I always do an inventory of the fridge and veg drawer to see what I need to use and then plan my meals around that.

For the creaminess, to this Creamy One Pot Pork Pasta I low-fat fat cream cheese, when I say cream cheese, I mean Philadelphia or another brand of similar cream cheese. I don’t use Quark, as it’s sour taste won’t give the same creaminess to this dish.
