Erin McDowell/Business Insider; Monica Schipper/Getty Images I made the Pioneer Woman's creamy one-pan pasta with Italian sausage and mascarpone. The simple recipe used pantry staples and took less than an hour to make. I made enough that, as a single person, I could eat leftovers for multiple days. There's nothing quite like a simple, no-fuss pasta dish that requires minimal ingredients, one pot, and easy-to-follow instructions. Ree Drummond, better known as the Pioneer Woman , has built a following around her simple, hearty recipes that often make enough to feed a whole family or have leftovers for days. As someone who typically cooks for one, I've found that many of her dishes make easy, satisfying weeknight meals, with plenty of leftovers to reheat throughout the week.
