    cooked pasta with cherry tomato on a fork

    What if I told you that you could boil your pasta and make your sauce at the same time?  In this recipe, there’s no need to drain the excess water from the pasta because that liquid is going to come together for your smooth, creamy sauce.  Mind-blowing. 

    The ingredients

    all the ingredients you need to make this recipe

    The pasta: it's the starch from the pasta that thickens the liquid in the pot. 

    The cherry tomatoes, which burst as they heat, will blend with the broth forming a sauce that’s better than any jar or can at the grocery store. 

    The thinly sliced onion and garlic cloves will cook down and become sweet, giving your sauce a classic taste. 

    I assure you; It's one of the best ways to develop a hearty, healthy pasta dish in a very short amount of time!

    The preparation

    Keep an eye on your pasta as it cooks, and make sure to stir it often.  Mixing will prevent the spaghetti from sticking to the pot and itself.  The olive oil will help with this as well, but if you find that it’s sticking, add more water as required while your past cooks.

    preparing the  dish, the pasta in a pot with the broth and cherry tomatoes

    Garnish the pasta with fresh basil before serving to really drive home that authentic flavor.  If you’re feeling fancy, grate in some parmesan cheese.  Adding this one-pot dish to your repertoire will make at least one weeknight meal an absolute breeze.

    Tips for the Perfect One Pot Pasta

    • One important thing if you want to have al dente pasta, you will want to keep an eye on the pasta towards the end of the cooking. Unlike the usual method which requires you to lightly cook the pasta and finish it in the sauce, for this recipe you want to cook your pasta exactly to the texture you like.
    • Stay close to your pot while cooking. Pasta dishes in a single pot tend to stick, so it's important to stay put to stir throughout the cooking process.

    FAQS

    What is the best pan to use to cook the pasta?

    Make sure you have a pan with enough space to add all of your ingredients. A large Dutch pan is perfect to cook pasta dishes in one pot.

    Should you add oil to pasta?

    Yes! Since it's cook all together, the oil will prevent the pasta from sticking together.

      Delicious! We can’t eat tomatoes, so I used fresh mushrooms and a little extra broth to make up the difference. So nice to have a non-dairy one pot pasta dish. Will make again.
