I keep my promises. 🙂 And as promised i’m going to share my recipe for One Pot Pasta.
Once in a while a dish comes along that changes the way you prepare a certain ingredient. This is officially my “I’m lazy and don’t feel like cooking” go to dish. Except it’s not what your average lazy meal would taste like. Simple, yet full of flavor, this is one dish that you must try.
I don’t think I’ll be going back to cooking pasta the old fashioned way unless of course it’s has to be. Although I’m not a big pasta lover, once in a while my cravings demand some.
So what’s the trick. Well……
There is no trick. 🙂 Just throw all the ingredients in a pot and let it cook together slowly. No need to drain the pasta and there will be plenty of sauce.
Don’t you just love it already? 🙂
Please make it and let me know what you think. Enjoy.
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 5-6
- 1 package spaghetti (1 lb)
- 15 oz can organic diced tomatoes with juice
- 3 large basil sprigs, leaves removed and roughly chopped
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- ½ tbsp italian seasoning
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 4½ cups chicken stock (or vegetable for vegetarian version)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Combine all ingredients together in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.
- Stir every 2-3 minutes to prevent pasta from sticking.
- Allow to cook until most of the liquid is gone but enough where there is enough sauce on the bottom. This should take about 10 minutes.
Kathy, this is awesome! I shy away from making pasta but this looks really simple and I love the photos you took. Thanks!

I’m so glad to hear. Let me know how you like it. 🙂
Has anyone ever saluteed the garlic and onion before cooking the rest of the ingredients? If the have how did it come out?
Works for me! I love the ease of one-pot meals.

I made this last night and LOVED it! I brought leftovers for lunch and can’t wait to devour them. I just want to thank you for all of your delicious recipes. I have loved all that I’ve tried so far and am looking forward to trying more.
You words are very kind. Thank you so much. It’s comments like this that make my day. 🙂
I love pasta more than I should, so I will have to try this! Looks delicious!

Thank you Amy. Enjoy
This is brilliant. I don’t think I’ll ever look at pasta the same way again.

Joshua, I can not agree more. I can never have pasta the old way. 🙂
Ahh, I love this! My biggest thing about cooking is washing dishes at the end. Especially pasta because there’s always at least one bowl and two pots and I get so lazy after carb loading. Thanks for this recipe!

I like your blog but I’m disappointed there are not calorie counts.
I love this recipe. I use a larger 28oz can of tomatoes and 3 cups of stock and it turns out great every time. This is my go to easy comfort dinner now!
Thanks Hilary. I’m so glad to hear that. 🙂
