Dinner does not get any easier than this. This one pot pasta is actually only made in a single pot (hence the name).

The dish is also very balanced. There's protein from edamame (and in your pasta if you choose a bean-based pasta). The pasta itself has some carbs and fiber. And you get a sold serving of veggies and more fiber in the mushrooms and broccoli.

This pasta makes a great weeknight meal — especially when you don't feel like doing dishes!
