Pasta, sauce, and add-ins are all cooked in the same pan, for both ease and maximum flavor. Victoria de la Maza

One-pan recipes aren’t only about the ease of cooking all ingredients in the same pan; they’re also about layering textures and flavors so that the final dish is more than the sum of its parts.

In this case, the ingredients are cooked in a particular order—first the garlic, then the bacon, and finally the broccoli—to build the flavors into a delicious final sauce.
