One Pot Spaghetti

20 min

4 servings

In 20 minutes, you’ll have a light ‘n fresh tomato sauce with tender, twirly noodles ready to go—and there’s only one pot to clean! We love how this is a budget-friendly, bare-bones recipe, but makes a meal both kids and adults will love to eat.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups prepared Nourish or Vegetable Broth
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp Nourish Broth Mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 1⁄2 tsp Vegetable Broth Mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Marinara Sauce Mix
  • 1⁄2 lb (225 g) uncooked spaghetti noodles
  • 1⁄4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation

  1. Dice tomatoes, reserving the juices.
  2. In a large non-stick pan or a large pot over medium heat, add tomatoes, reserved juices, and oil. Cook 2–3 min, or until tomatoes are tender.
  3. Add broth, seasoning, and sauce mix. Add spaghetti, pressing down to submerge pasta in liquid. If the pot or pan is not wide enough, break spaghetti in half.
  4. Cover; cook 10–12 min, or until pasta is al dente. Reduce heat to medium-low if liquid is bubbling too vigorously.
  5. If pasta is not cooked within 12 min, add a bit more broth, cover, and cook an additional 1–2 min. Alternatively, if pasta sauce is too watery by the time the pasta is done, uncover and cook an extra few min to let excess liquid evaporate.
  6. Remove from heat, top with parmesan, and serve.
