Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of The Dinner Plan, cookbook author Nora Singley shares the story behind Martha Stewart's famous one-pot pasta, a pasta recipe that's been riffed on so many times you probably don't even remember the first time you saw it. Nora's new book dives deep on the method, and here, she shares the many reasons why it can actually be better to skip the separate pot of boiling water when you're making weeknight dinners. She walks us through her finely-tuned version of the popular cooking method, and explains why it works so well for carbonara, cacio e pepe, and even lasagna. Nora also shares her most-loved pantry staples, her go-to easy dinner, and the wildest story of a cooking disaster we’ve had on the show yet.Get Nora’s recipe for Creamed Spinach and Minty Trenne (Plus Rotisserie Chicken) on The DinnerPlan.Substack.comCheck out our sponsors:Lotus Professional Series: Use code DINNERPLAN for 10% off at Lotuscooking.comMaraBela: Find Marabela Alcohol-Free Sparkling Tea at MaraBelaTea.comMade In Cookware: Visit madein.cc/dinnerplan to unlock your discount offer.Find Nora’s book, One-Pot Pasta, wherever you buy cookbooks.
