Pinterest Recipes; One Pot Spaghetti
Easy one-pot spaghetti meal. Simply add all the ingredients to a large pan, bring to a boil, then cook until done.
Ingredients
- 1 box spaghetti broken into thirds
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cups tomatoes chopped
- 1 cup eggplant chopped
- 1 cup asparagus cut into 1 inch pieces
- 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup minced fresh herbs choose from parsley, basil, oregano, marjoram
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a large pot and make sure all the ingredients are completely covered with the liquid/broth.
- Place a lid on top, then bring to a boil.
- Turn the heat down to medium and remove the lid.
- Stir the spaghetti and continue to stir every few minutes to prevent sticking.
- Continue cooking until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the pasta is cooked through. You should have a bit of liquid remaining, this is your spaghetti sauce - no need to add any additional tomato sauce!
- Turn the heat off and stir in the cheese if using.
- I like to remove the pan from the stove so it doesn't continue to cook on the hot burner.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
Recipe Tips and Suggestions
- If you don't like asparagus or eggplant, you can use just about any kind of vegetable you like. Mushrooms, onions, cooked spinach, etc. I used raw eggplant and oven roasted al dente asparagus in mine.
- Just about any liquid can be used; water, vegetable broth, chicken broth, tomato juice, beef broth. Match your liquid to the rest of your ingredients.
- The liquid needs to completely cover all the ingredients. I used 4 cups of liquid, but you may need to add up to 4 1/2 cups.
- For a complete meal, serve your one pot spaghetti with Italian bread or garlic rolls.
