One Pot Hawaiian Pasta Recipe

Here is what you will need to serve 4

Ingredients

• 200g Diced Pancetta
• 200g Ham, cubed *
• 1 x 500g Jar of Tomato & Garlic Sauce
• 475g Chicken Stock
• 1/2 tsp Onion Salt
• 1/2 tsp Dried Basil
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
• 225g Dried Rigatoni Pasta
• 225g Pineapple Chunks, drained
• 100g Grated Mozzarella
• 1 tbsp Chopped Parsley, optional

*Fresh or tinned, either is fine.

Essential Equipment

• Large Lidded, Non Stick Frying Pan

Instructions

Firstly, heat the frying pan over a medium/high heat. When the pan is hot, add in the pancetta and fry until golden & crispy. (About 10 minutes.)

Remove from the pan and set to one side.

With the pancetta oils still in the pan, fry the cubed ham for a few minutes until golden.

Add the tomato sauce, chicken stock, onion salt, basil and black pepper and give it all a good stir.

Bring it to the boil then add the pasta. Reduce the heat to a simmer then pop the lid on and cook for about 15 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Stir occasionally.

Turn off the heat, add in the pineapple & the cooked pancetta and give it a good stir.

Top with the grated mozzarella and pop the lid back on. No flame required, the heat from the pan alone will melt it. (Should take approx 5-10 mins)

Sprinkle with a little chopped parsley (optional) then divide between four bowls and serve immediately.

And there you have it. This One Pot Hawaiian Pasta dish is a perfect family treat meal. Ok it’s not the healthiest thing on the planet but it’s much better than a takeaway AND it’s insanely delicious! The best thing? There’s only one pan to wash, hurrah!

I hope you enjoyed the post my lovelies, until next time.
