A tasty smoky pasta dish all cooked in one pot and topped with crispy halloumi

One Pot Smoky Halloumi Pasta presented in a light blue bowl.

I absolutely love One Pot Recipes during the week. Life can be hectic with work, school runs and activities and having to pull out several pots and pans and make a mess in the kitchen can just be too much of a mental load in the evenings.

This recipe is so easy to make and is a great way to introduce halloumi to fussy eaters.

Start off by frying small cubes of halloumi in a large pot.

When they’re crispy and browned, remove them and set aside on a plate.

To the same pan add pasta, a tin of chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, chipotle pasta and dried oregano.

The chipotle paste gives a lovely smoky and mild spicy flavour to the dish. If you’re worried that it may be a bit too spicy for your children then start with just ¼ teaspoon the first time you make it and see how they like.

Bring to the boil and simmer for 7 minutes.

To the same pan add pasta, a tin of chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, chipotle pasta and dried oregano.

Add in some chopped frozen vegetables and cook for another 5-6 minutes until the pasta is soft and most of the liquid has absorbed.

    Amazing recipe!
    I did make a few tweaks to it, firstly I couldn’t get Chipotle paste so I added smoked paprika, a little chilli powder and some roasted red peppers (out the jar). I also made this in my rice cooker, for ease. Just frying the halloumi separate.
    I made a double batch and saved some for warm lunched in the week for my 4 children.
    Thank you
