One-Pot Creamy Pumpkin Mac and Cheese Recipe You’ll be adding in cheese, so don’t worry, it’ll thicken up – it’s always better to have too saucy pasta than too dry, in my books. Also, right when your pasta is cooked, the sauce will look very thin. You may think that the one pot is just a gimmick, but cooking the pasta in milk makes it tender and you get the bonus of the starches mixing and emulsifying with the sauce, making it nice and silky.

Kotatsu is a magical Japanese invention: essentially it’s a low wooden table with a heating element underneath, covered by a thick blanket, then a tabletop. I made a veggie lasagna, got a bunch of work that I needed to get done, and even had time to relax underneath our kotatsu.

But, it happened! We spent the entire day in. Although I claim that I’m a homebody, loud and proud, I don’t really remember the last time we spent the whole day at home.
