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.
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.
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.

Hi there. Wonderful and mouth watering! It seems to be delicious and strikes my eyes. I’m a new cooker and finding some pasta menu to practice. I really want to try your Quick and easy pasta recipe.

So you don’t have to bring schicken stock to a boil before adding the pasta?
Thank you
Rasa Malaysia
No need.
Kate
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!
Rasa Malaysia
Kate, yes you can make a variety of pasta from this one-pan pasta recipe. :)
Crissy
This was so delicious! There’s nothing better than pasta, especially with tomatoes and basil! Mine took about 18 minutes to absorb the liquid, absolutely yummy recipe!
Dianna
Hello I just finished making one pot pasta. Love,love,love the recipe I used caned petite hunts chopped tomatoes 14.5 punch do not drain. I also added sauteed mushrooms to the onions and garlic. It was amazing, wonderful taste like something u get in an expensive Italian restaurant. Will definitely make again and again. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, I agree. Thanks for trying my one pan pasta recipe, Dianna. :)
Jane
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?
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Jane, if you double the recipe, you will need to double all ingredients, or cook it in two portions.
Raven
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!
Rasa Malaysia
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.

Just wondering if you’ve ever substituted veggie broth for chicken broth ? If so, was it just as good?
Rasa Malaysia
No, but it should be fine!
