Easy One Pot Dinner for Two Using What’s Left in the Fridge

Ran out of dinner ideas? I made a delicious, cozy one pot meal for two using half a box of pasta, leftover chicken broth, and some random veggies I had in the fridge. No fancy ingredients, no stress — just a simple, flavorful dinner made from what I already had.

Whether you’re low on groceries or just want to cook without overthinking it, this is a perfect pantry + fridge clean-out meal. Bonus: only one pot to wash!

I do use a few Amazon products in the recipe.
