Not barred by personal opinion or anything but there is no better way to cook than a simple and wonderful One-Pot recipe. When we are able to cut corners on prep times, instructions and most importantly dishes then everyone’s a winner. I was inspired to make this while looking for an easy meal to throw together while keeping the wife happy. She is a huge fan of broccoli and cheese (mainly) so I put together this One-Pot cheesy pasta skillet. Fresh flavors and colors mingle together gracefully.
