Gousto’s Chef takes us around the world with a week of one-pot meals 

One week, one journey, one pot… 

The benefits of one-pot meals are endless – quick, nutritious and with minimal washing up. Don’t worry, though; one-pot recipes aren’t just for winter. Meal kit Gousto has plenty of light and healthy dishes that shine through in the spring and summer months too. 

So, grab your slow cooker or a large casserole pot and travel round the world with a week of one-pot wonders… 

Bella Italia 

Kick off with a one-pot pasta dish in the pasta capital of the world – Italy. This is Gousto’s homage to the #OnePotPasta creations that are trending on TikTok at the moment. An All-in-One Mushroom Ragu Spaghetti is ideal for serving with another Italian special – a caprese, mozzarella salad.  

The sauce and pasta are cooked in the same liquid which, as Jordan Moore, Senior Chef at Gousto says, ‘is the secret to getting restaurant quality flavour.’ It helps the sauce stick to your pasta, allowing the tangs of balsamic vinegar, dried oregano and rich tomato sauce to melt into the spaghetti and maximise the flavour. Buon appetite! 

Sampling the tastes and smells of the Middle East  

Switch things up and experience some flavours from the Middle East, an area known for meals that are rich, fragrant and buttery. And that’s exactly what recipe box service Gousto’s One-pot Baked Spicy Minced Lamb Stew with Naan and Yoghurt gives you. Spiced with aromatic ras el hanout and fiery harissa, this dish is started on the hob and then bubbles away in the oven. 

An Indian plant based beauty 

Continuing the travels to Asia, experience the delicious, diverse flavours of Indian cuisine. For the spice fanatics out there, this punchy plant-based Baked Butternut Squash Biryani, served with crispy onions, cooling coconut yoghurt and bags of sliced chilli, will not disappoint. This Gousto dish is great for entertaining, as its quick prep time means more chatting and the one-dish format makes it perfect for sharing. 

Taking our tour to Thailand 

Next stop, Thailand. Taking just 5 minutes to prep, this Spicy Thai Red Chicken Noodle Soup is an easy, refreshing dish that will tantalise your tastebuds. Simply tumble all your ingredients into a casserole dish and pop in the oven. When it’s done, nestle in the noodles and serve your delicious soup! 

Homeward bound for a British classic  

Returning to home shores, instead of popping down to the chippy, satisfy those cravings at home with a healthy one-pot alternative to the classic fish supper. Gousto’s Baked Lemon and Herb Basa with Cherry Tomatoes is served with potatoes and juicy cherry tomatoes, steeped in a rich herby stock which is fresh, light and wonderfully easy!
