It’s back to school season and pasta is the easiest weeknight dinner for the entire family. This one-pan pasta will be your life saver as it’s so easy and quick. The pasta is cooked right in the sauce, in your pan, in 20 minutes.

This recipe also yields delicious pasta as the noodles soak up all the goodness of the ingredients. All you have to do is throw all your ingredients into the pan and magic happens! Plus, there is only one pan to clean up after the meal.

One-pan spaghetti pasta with tomatoes, onions and garlic.

Which Pasta is Best for One-Pan Pasta?

You should use spaghetti as the noodles are thinner and they will get cooked evenly in the pan. Angel hair will work well, too, but you might want to cut down the cooking time by 1 minute or so, as you don’t want soggy and overcooked pasta.

One-Pan Pasta - quick and easy spaghetti cooked in one-pan. This delicious recipe takes only 20 minutes!

Pan or Pot?

For the cookware, you can use a pot, for example: a Dutch oven, or a wide soup pot. I like to use my skillet for one-pan pasta. For the best results, make sure your cookware is wide enough for the spaghetti noodles.

If not, break the spaghetti into halves so they are covered by the sauce while cooking. If it is too narrow, the pasta will not get cooked properly.

Can You Freeze The Leftover

Trust me, there will be no leftovers, but in case you do, you can just freeze them in the refrigerator.

You have keep them in a plastic container, ziplock bag, or a pasta bowl covered with shrink wrap. To eat, reheat in the microwave for 1 minute.

    I came across this recipe on FB and went right to the stove. The only changes I made were 2 cloves of garlic instead of 6, and added wine and crushed red pepper. I say it is the best pasta I have had in many moons! Thank you for the recipe.

    I made this last night and think it’s a perfect recipe to use as a base for all sorts of options! I doubled the recipe (used tinned crushed tomatoes), added red lentils, white wine, a dollop of pesto and sriracha at the beginning, grated zucchini and carrot towards the end, and baby spinach at the end. My husband and I both loved it and the spaghetti cooked perfectly. I’ll be creating and cooking variations of this going forward and have already shared this with my daughters. Thank you!

    Hi – This recipe looks amazing!! If I double the recipe, can I add a 28oz can of chopped tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes? And would I have to use less chicken stock?

      Hi Jane, if you double the recipe, you will need to double all ingredients, or cook it in two portions.

    If I add shrimp to the recipe do I put in at the same time as all the other ingredients? This looks fabulous and I cant wait to try it out!

      You can add towards the end as the shrimp cooks faster and you don’t want to overcook the shrimp. I would add towards the last two minutes.
