Making Creamy One Pot Pasta with a 12" Skillet

[pattikake]

I have a host who has 15-20 guests coming to her noon show next weekend. She has a very small oven, so we can't use stoneware for a demo.

I've never made the Creamy One Pot Pasta recipe, but I hear it's good... Can I make this using my 12" skillet? I don't have the stockpot ..

Yep. That's how I make it at shows, since most of my cookware is the Professional that we don't carry any more.

Yes, the recipe is just fine in the skillet. You will probably want to practice at home just to be sure you are comfortable with it. I love this recipe! I use a whole block of cream cheese, but other than that, I follow the recipe as is and it's great! Good luck, and I hope you have a great show with that terrific turnout!

Yep, I've made it in the skillet before and it's great that way!

I LOVE my 12in skillet! I use it for all sorts of "pot" type dishes. I especially like to make my chili in it.

Yes! It holds a gallon of food!

I have the stock pot now but prefer to use the skillet at shows because it's a piece guests can purchase open stock.

Just made it last night in an old 6qt. stockpot I have. Delish! My family doesn't like the sun dried tomatoes, tho. Forgot I could do it in a skillet. I ordered the 12" skillet and I can't wait to get it!
