Description
Quick, easy, and flavorful One Pot Spaghetti with tomato sauce, fresh herbs, and minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
12 ounces spaghetti
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: grated parmesan, fresh parsley, or red pepper flakes for serving
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant and softened.
2. Add diced tomatoes, broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
3. Break spaghetti in half and add to the pot, ensuring pasta is mostly submerged in liquid.
4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and sauce has thickened, about 12–15 minutes.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with grated parmesan, fresh parsley, or red pepper flakes.
Notes
Add cooked protein like chicken or sausage for a heartier meal.
