Introducing the easiest gluten free & vegan One-Pot Pasta Bake you will EVER make!
A few weeks ago I suddenly craved a comforting pasta bake but had a really long day and didn’t want all the faff that normally goes into making one such as multiple pots and sauces etc so I came up with this super easy one-pot recipe.
The best part is it’s incredibly easy to make with just 5 minutes of prep.
The perfect healthy comforting family friendly dinner to share.
What you’re going to love about this Pasta Bake:
- One-Pot
- Versatile
- Comforting
- 5 mins prep
- Perfect for sharing
- Gluten free & Vegan
Using these simple ingredients you can get from most supermarkets.
For instance with this type of recipe you would normally cook a pasta sauce separately which:
- Takes more time
- Another pot to clean
However, with this pasta bake it’s as simple as boiling the gluten free pasta, adding all the sauce ingredients, topping with cheese and baking, THAT’S IT!
Finally I top mine with grated vegan cheese before baking to make this also a dairy free pasta bake.
It really is a recipe that is perfect for sharing amongst allergy suffers or those lucky people who can eat everything.

Really enjoyed the one pot pasta bake. My children kept saying it was restaurant standard and they are quite fussy eaters. They couldn’t even taste the hidden olives, which they wouldn’t normally entertain having. It was easy to make, healthy and tasted gorgeous. Thank you for the recipe.
Aww love that thank you Danielle 🙂
Wow. A fab one pot meal. We loved it. So easy, quick & tasty.
I’ll most definitely make this again
