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!

One-Pot Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes

One-Pot Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes - crazy delicious pasta with spinach and tomatoes. Everything is made from scratch and cooked in one pot. The best pasta recipe ever!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 oz. (400 g) diced tomatoes
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped oregano
- 8 oz. (226 g) spaghetti
- 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 5 oz. (140 g) baby spinach
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat oil in a wide skillet, pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, saute 3 minutes or until they start to brown. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano and spaghetti. Press the spaghetti with a spatula to submerge the pasta in the liquid. If your skillet, pan or Dutch oven is not wide enough, you might break the spaghetti into halves before cooking. Cover with the lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 8 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. If the pasta is not cooked after 8 minutes, add a little bit more chicken broth, cover the lid and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Uncover the lid and add salt. Add the spinach, stirring until the leaves wilt. Turn off the heat and top the pasta with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Notes
I used Roma Tomatoes and Barilla brand spaghetti.

This was amazing! I didn’t notice until I had a handful of pasta in my pan that I had grabbed fettuccini, so it took a little longer to cook. Definitely adding into food rotation!! Thank you!!

I just made it for dinner. Never thought there is this really easy pasta and it’s really yummy despite having just tomatoes and baby spinach. I topped it with deep fried soft shelled crabs just to make it a bigger treat. Thank you!

Yummy, sounds so good!

This looks delicious! I make something similar but add shrimp…uncooked in the beginning…or cooked towards the end…and jarred artichoke hearts :-)

Sounds delish.

OMG this was so delicious my most favorite meal I made in a long time. This is definitely going to be a regular addition at my house. I did make two changes I added parsley instead of oregano because it’s what I had and I added some small diced pieces of fresh mozzarella (instead of Parmesan) after I turned off the heat in the pan and mixed it around until it was a little bit melted.
I hardly ever leave comments on recipes but I just had to this time because it was so yummy! Ty for sharing.

Thank you for all your delicious and easy to follow recipes. Been a user for many years but never commented. So whip me with a wet noodle.
As an aside and not to be judgmental but this gives me a smile every time I read a recipe: Yield — 4 people. I picture 4 people on the menu instead of 4 servings. Pardon my warped mind :-).

Love this recipe, it is favourite in our house now. Only change I made, was adding fresh mushrooms. Thanks for the easy peasy one pot meal.
