One-pot spaghetti recipe

Description

One-pot spaghetti is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It requires only one pot to cook the spaghetti, sauce, and any additional ingredients you choose to add. This means less cleanup and more time to relax after dinner. This recipe is perfect for those who love spaghetti but don’t have the time or energy to make it from scratch.

Ingredients

• 1 pound of spaghetti
• 1 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon of dried basil
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for an additional 2 minutes. (Time: 7 minutes)
2. Add the can of crushed tomatoes, dried basil, and 4 cups of broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer. (Time: 5 minutes)
3. Break the spaghetti in half and add it to the pot. Use a spoon to push the spaghetti down so it is completely submerged in the broth. Cover the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the spaghetti is cooked to your liking. This should take about 10-12 minutes. (Time: 12 minutes)
4. If the spaghetti has absorbed all the broth and still isn’t cooked to your liking, add more broth or water in 1/2 cup increments and continue cooking until it is done. (Time: Varies)
5. Once the spaghetti is cooked, season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top. Enjoy! (Time: 1 minute)

That’s it! This one-pot spaghetti recipe is perfect for when you need to whip up a quick and easy dinner without too much fuss. Experiment with different vegetables and proteins to make it your own.
