Do I have to use Gluten Free Pasta?
You don’t! We are completely gluten free in our house, so we made this recipe with traditional Gluten Free Spaghetti. But if you are not practicing a gluten-free diet, you can use whatever type of pasta you prefer.
Serve
Pasta goes with everything! First things first, a delicious salad! This Tomato and Avocado salad is easy to throw together. This Caesar Salad is one of my absolute favorites.
Next, bread! This Gouda and Jalapeno Bread is to die for. This vegetarian dinner recipe is delicious on its own, but if you want to add some meat, try this Smoked Pork Tenderloin, or Shrimp Scampi.

This looks like the perfect quick weeknight dinner. I have not tried gluten free noodles yet, I think it is time.
Oh it is! I really like the Barilla brand, affordable and keeps great flavor and consistency. Some other brands we tried just fell apart!
I love easy dinners and this one looks fantastic. Such fresh flavors!
Thanks Joanie! 🙂
I love one pot pastas.. they are seriously the best! And my husband is the same way -wheres the meat?! Some nights he lets me get away with none. Can’t wait to try this! YUM!
Anything made in one pan is a winner in my book! 🙂
That looks so good Annie, I love the bright colour from the cherry tomatoes! And that sounds a lot like meals without meat around here – my husband is always searching for some meat, he doesn’t think it’s a meal without meat, although I’m perfectly happy not always having meat for supper!
Isn’t it crazy! I even have to add steak or shrimp to a salad for him to eat it! And even then he still considers it a “side dish!” 🙂
This looks like exactly what I want for dinner!
What is better than a big bowl of pasta!
There’s nothing I love more than a one-pot pasta dish! My hubby likes his meat, too, but he puts up with a meatless pasta dish every once in a while. I mean, there’s cheese. And carbs. Lol
Exactly!! Cheese + Carbs, what more do you really need?!
Ha! I laughed out loud at this because my husband is the same exact way about needing meat with every meal. He always says he’s “just not full enough” without meat! So strange. I love this pasta! I will definitely be making this soon! Maybe with some roasted chicken for my husband…
Michelle that’s so funny! I kept saying, isn’t this good? and he said “oh yeah, and maybe it would be even better with some shrimp or something…” hahaha!
This sounds absolutely amazing – looks delicious as well!
Thanks Melanie!
Mmm, I love meals like this! My husband would’ve done the same thing yours did thought. Men are so obnoxious!
Whhyyyy does every single meal have to have meat?! I just don’t get it! 🙂
Holy pasta heaven! Love this dish and that sauce sounds great.
Thanks so much! 🙂
I love making spaghetti for dinner, I am totally giving this a try the next time we have it! The thing about your husband made me laugh too, totally sounds like mine. Pinned!
Thanks for the pin Danielle!! You will love this!
This sounds delicious! I love pasta without meat…creamy cozy noodles sound like dinner perfection, even if my husband doesn’t agree either 🙂
What is it with men and meat?! Why can’t they just enjoy cheesy carbs in all their glory like us!! 😉
This really is showstopping! I love cherry tomatoes cooked til they do actually burst! Haha! I hadn’t considered stopping til they reach that point, but maybe I will! This does look like a simple and quick meal, but so delish and very gourmet-like! Looks great!
Thanks Sarah! I love burst tomatoes too!! Sooo much flavor!
I don’t think I’ve met a pasta dish I haven’t liked. Creamy parmesan sounds especially delicious and I love those tomatoes!!
Me either Alyssa! I want all the carbs! 🙂
Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best! This one sounds so good and bonus for one pan!
Thanks Leah! The less dishes the better, right?!
I love this easy dinner idea! LOVE!!!
ok! That looks so delicious Annie! Yum, I’m hungry looking at the pictures. Pinning this.
I just adore those bright red cherry tomatoes! This looks like a wonderful weeknight meal, so fast and looks so delicious! I love that you cooked the pasta right in the skillet!
This just screams comfort!
Can’t wait to try this in the summer when I have 10 billion cherry tomatoes!! It looks so yummy!
I for one am a fan of really simple pasta dishes. I love plates that allow all the ingredients, including the pasta itself, to shine. This is an awesome recipe for that.
I agree Shelby! Sometimes less is more when it comes to a good pasta dish! 🙂
