One Pot Pasta

A quick and easy one pot pasta recipe that combines pasta with a rich garlic-tomato sauce, cooked right in one pan for minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces dry pasta (spaghetti, linguine, or penne)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 3 to 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Mix in canned tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper, and warm up.
  5. Pour in dry pasta and cover with broth, about an inch above the pasta.
  6. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, stirring every few minutes for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Check that the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Remove from heat, stir in cheese and herbs, let sit for a minute, then serve hot.

Notes

Top each plate with grated Parmesan and torn basil leaves. Serve with lemon wedges for a fresh lift.
