Following on from my introduction about the sauciness of one pot pastas, it will be no surprise when I say that the key to cooking one pot pasta recipes is to have plenty of liquid that the pasta can absorb! Dried pasta absorbs more than double its own weight in liquid as it cooks. Today, we use 4 cups of stock plus a can of tomato for 360g/12 ounces of pasta.
One pot pastas can be tricky for some because the pasta is cooked in a much smaller amount of liquid than traditional pasta cooking methods. Here are a few tips to make sure your one pot pasta cooks evenly and to the right texture:
Though there are hundreds of different types of noodles, pasta can be organized into different groups, including long pasta (spaghetti, angel hair), tubes (penne), soup pastas (orzo, alphabet), stuffed (tortellini, ravioli) and special shapes (farfalle, fusilli).

Pastas that have some length to them are really fun to play with. Think of when you twirl the pasta on your fork.... you want the sauce to adhere to the pasta naturally and not wading in a pool on your plate. Tomato sauces, carbonara or Cacio e Pepe are probably my favorite go to sauces for anything long. But there is also a difference in long pastas.
Long and skinny pastas are things like spaghetti, angel hair and linguine. These delicate strands of gold should be paired with lighter sauces that will cling and coat each strand without hiding the actual taste and texture of the pasta.
