Ingredients Method Notes

Method
 

  1. Add all the ingredients to a large pot and make sure all the ingredients are completely covered with the liquid/broth.

  2. Place a lid on top, then bring to a boil.

  3. Turn the heat down to medium and remove the lid.
  4. Stir the spaghetti and continue to stir every few minutes to prevent sticking.

  5. 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!
  6. Turn the heat off and stir in the cheese if using.
  7. I like to remove the pan from the stove so it doesn't continue to cook on the hot burner.

  8. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

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.
