ONE-PAN PASTA
Have you ever heard of the Flavor Bible? Basically, it’s an entire book that lists ingredients and what goes well with each ingredient. Ingredients that go exceptionally well with the ingredient are listed in all caps.
For example, under the ingredient tomatoes, ONION, GARLIC, and BASIL are all in caps.
Why am I telling you this? This is how this recipe came about. I had some sun-dried tomatoes, onion, sausage, and broccoli that I was trying to make a meal out of. The result. It was fantastic!
