One-Pot Pasta
When it comes to busy weeknights, nothing beats a homemade one-pot pasta as you cook the pasta right in the sauce. There is only one pot to clean after dinner and the stock used in cooking the pasta adds amazing flavors to the dish.
The starch from the pasta also helps to thicken the sauce, making the pasta utterly delicious.
While the pasta looks plain, this Spinach and Tomatoes spaghetti is absolutely delightful. The pasta is perfectly cooked with the right texture; each strands is coated with the refreshing and great taste of the sauce garlic and onion-infused sauce. It’s so good and dinner is ready in 20 minutes!
Cooking Tips
When using one pan or one pot, it’s important to cook the pasta in stages. The flavors of each ingredient should build on each other and every element cooks to just the right doneness.
This recipe delivers al dente pasta, with a barely there sauce that is light but extremely flavorful. It’s the best pasta I have made in my kitchen. This recipe is a keeper and a must-try.
I will assure you that you won’t buy another bottled pasta sauce!

I used canned tomatoes instead of fresh. Mine was a little mushy. Next time I’ll use fresh. Also I used a thicker spaghetti noodle so I had to cook longer and add extra chicken broth. But it still turned out very good! My husband loved it. I posted a picture, but mine isn’t as pretty as the picture that’s posted. I’ll definitely be making it again.

Awesome Sherry. Yes, use fresh tomatoes.
