About Mug Pasta / One Bowl Pasta
When my daughter had a holiday between her exams, she requested a special pasta treat—served in a mug, just for her afternoon lunch. Alone that day, I whipped up this cozy one-bowl pasta, and seeing her delight made it all worthwhile. Inspired by her joy, I recreated the dish for my twins and now, I’m excited to share this simple yet satisfying recipe with you.
For this quick Mug Pasta, I use cooked elbow macaroni, adding broccoli, capsicum, and onion for a vibrant veggie boost—just as my kids love it. To avoid a bland taste, I blend flavors into the white sauce and add a touch of tomato for a tangy kick, catering to my daughter’s preference. Topped with melty mozzarella cheese, this recipe makes two hearty mugs, perfect for a fun and comforting meal for kids or anyone in need of a quick Italian-inspired lunch.

Recipe Notes
Healthy, nutritious meal for your loved ones.
Additional Tips
- For added protein, stir in a handful of cooked chickpeas, shredded rotisserie chicken, or canned tuna before microwaving the mug pasta—these blend well with the white sauce and don’t dry out during reheating.
- If you want a crisp, golden cheese top, sprinkle a little extra mozzarella and broil the mug under an oven broiler for 2-3 minutes instead of microwaving at the end.
- Chop the broccoli and capsicum into very small pieces to ensure they cook through quickly in the mug and provide a pleasant bite with the pasta.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk, olive oil or vegan butter for the sauce, and top with vegan cheese or nutritional yeast for a similar creamy, cheesy finish.
