One Pot Spaghetti

In 20 minutes, a light ‘n fresh tomato sauce and tender twirly noodles are good-to-go, and there’s only one pot to clean. We love how this is an inexpensive bare-bone recipe but makes a meal kids and adults love to eat.  

1. Dice tomatoes, reserving all juices.
2. In a large non-stick pan or large pot, add tomatoes, including the juice, and oil. Heat over medium high heat, cook 2-3 min until tomatoes are tender.
3. To pan add broth, seasoning, and sauce mix. Add spaghetti, pressing down to submerge pasta in liquid. If the pot or pan is not wide enough, break spaghetti in half.
4. Cover; cook 10-12 min, or until pasta is al dente. Reduce heat to medium-low if liquid is bubbling too vigorously.
5. If pasta is not cooked within 12 min, add a bit more broth, cover and cook an additional 1-2 min. Alternatively, if pasta sauce is too watery by the time the pasta is done, uncover and cook an extra few min to let excess liquid evaporate.
6. Remove from heat, top with parmesan, and serve.

No fresh tomatoes? Use what you have! Use 1 can (14 oz/398 ml) diced tomatoes instead.
Serve with Meatballs and 2 cups leafy green salad.
