This one-pot pasta is one of the best pasta recipes! It is a breeze to make using only a few simple ingredients. An easy pasta dinner that you can whip up any time. I love this pasta as is, but feel free to add shrimp or spinach if desired.

I enjoy home-cooked meals, and that includes Italian pasta. For best results, use spaghetti. I do not recommend thicker pasta such as fettuccine as they are harder to cook. As for the tomatoes, I love to use Campari tomatoes because they are juicier, sweeter, and less acidic. Enjoy a healthy, easy, and quick pasta meal whenever with this the best one-pot pasta recipe!

Ingredients

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 c. chopped onion

2 tbsp olive oil

14 ounces (400 grams) of fresh tomatoes, diced

2 c. chicken broth

8 ounces (226 grams) of spaghetti

1/4 c. shredded Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp chopped Italian parsley

1 tbsp chopped Italian basil

1/4 tsp salt or to taste

How to make One-Pot Pasta

Step 1: In a wide skillet, pan, or pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes until they begin to brown. Next, add the tomatoes along with the chicken broth, Italian basil, and spaghetti.

Step 2: Using a spatula, press the spaghetti to submerge it in the liquid. You can break the spaghetti before cooking in halves if using a not wide enough pan or pot. Put the lid on and adjust the heat to medium-low. Cook for another 8 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Pour in a little bit more chicken broth if the pasta is not cooked after 8 minutes. Replace the lid and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3: Remove the cover and season with salt. Turn the heat off and sprinkle the pasta with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve the pasta immediately. Enjoy!

Note:

If desired, you can add spinach and shrimp to the pasta.
