One Pot Loaded Veggie Pasta is simple to prepare and loaded with summer’s bounty. This one pot meal is the perfect dish to prepare after a trip to the Farmer’s Market.
This hearty meal is so full of flavor. You definitely won’t miss the meat.
I just love a one pot meal. The fewer dishes I have to wash, the better. This pasta recipe is a keeper.

July 20, 2015 at 1:28 AMI can easily convert this into something that works with my current eating plan. I never thought to cook my veggies with my pasta – that is brilliant!
Laura says
July 20, 2015 at 8:50 AMThere is no way this isn’t going to be a winner. I love meals that have vegetables packed I to them.
Brian Jones says
July 20, 2015 at 11:31 AMWe eat veggie quite a lot even though we are both avid meat eaters… and I love that fact is all in one pot.. I would have to ditch the zucchini as it is not a favourite in our house
Kathryn Doherty says
July 20, 2015 at 1:52 PMLoving how veggie-packed this is! Not to mention easy – what a great weeknight dinner. And I bet leftovers make for a killer lunch. Yum!
Mollie says
July 20, 2015 at 6:49 PMI think your instructions skipped cooking the veggies before adding it all together with the broth/water/tomato paste and noodles!
Rebecca says
July 20, 2015 at 9:44 PMI always love a good one pot meal, this one looks delicious!
Danielle says
July 22, 2015 at 12:31 AMJust made this for dimer tonight, added a green bell pepper and fresh green beans, 5 kids plus hubby loved it. Added ricotta to a dish for grandma because I’m a little heavy on the red pepper flakes.
Joanna @ Everyday Made Fresh says
July 23, 2015 at 10:46 AMOne pot meals are my favorite! I love that you used veggies as the main ingredient. We always need to eat more veggies and I think that we would with your recipe.
Meg @ Pinch of Nutmeg says
July 23, 2015 at 1:51 PMI love that this is a one-pot meal and is full of veggies! So many pasta dishes are heavy and that’s not the way I want to feel after eating, especially during the hot summer months. Can’t wait to try this!

Marlise says
August 20, 2015 at 9:12 PMTried it tonight. Pasta got way over cooked and mushy 🙁 will try again but cook everything for a few minutes before adding the pasta. I even used whole wheat so it would take longer to cook. Other than that great recipe and I do love the one pot!
Rosie says
November 20, 2015 at 12:46 PMYour recipes never cease to amaze me! Of course I like the one pot idea, but more important, this sounds soo delish! I must try this asap – I’m not waiting for the farmer’s markets!!!

Michele Melnick says
October 2, 2018 at 8:56 AMI too love one pot meals. It was delicious and so easy with little prep time. I used a spicy tubed tomato paste and it addede a subdued kick. I used the spicy flakes as well. I always add additional dried herbs and sprinkled with fresh basil as well. Thank you…will definitely make again
Angela says
