One Pot Pasta (The Best Recipe!) Easy
Imagine a rich, garlicky tomato sauce clinging to perfectly al dente spaghetti, all made in a single pot with zero fuss. This ONE POT PASTA is truly one of the best pasta recipes that takes 20 minutes to make in one pot, delivering maximum flavor with minimal cleanup. After testing dozens of variations, I can confirm this method locks in the aromatics and starches for a remarkably silky sauce. It’s the ultimate weeknight lifesaver that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion (chopped )
- 6 cloves garlic (minced)
- 14 oz. fresh tomatoes (diced)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian basil
- 8 oz. spaghetti
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
Instructions
- Heat oil in a wide skillet, pan, or pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes or until they start to brown. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian basil, and spaghetti.
- Press the spaghetti with a spatula to submerge the pasta in the liquid. If your skillet, pan, or pot is not wide enough, break the spaghetti in half before cooking. Cover with the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 8 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. If the pasta is not fully cooked after 8 minutes, add a little more chicken broth, cover, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Uncover the lid, add salt, and turn off the heat. Top the pasta with Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.
