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
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 oz (400g) tomatoes, diced
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon oregano, roughly chopped
- 8 oz (230g) spaghetti
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 5 oz(140g) baby spinach
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat oil in a wide skillet, pan, or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes or until they start to brown. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, and spaghetti. Use a spatula to press the spaghetti down to submerge it in the liquid. If your skillet, pan, or Dutch oven is not wide enough, you may need to 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 cooked after 8 minutes, add a little more chicken broth, cover the lid, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Uncover the lid and add salt. Stir in the spinach, cooking until the leaves wilt. Turn off the heat and top the pasta with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

This was a wonderful dinner! I am searching for more recipes of this one pot pasta idea! Thank you! The only change I made was I used a can of diced tomatoes in sauce.

That was amazing! I used garlic oregano canned tomatoes and put in a small amount of spicy crumbled sausage. This is the only way I will make spaghetti from now on.

I cannot find the Red Dot Get the Recipient Button. C’mon man!
The recipe is now at the bottom of the screen please scroll down.
I used canned tomatoes instead of fresh. Mine was a little mushy. Next time I’ll use fresh. Also I used a thicker spaghetti noodle so I had to cook longer and add extra chicken broth. But it still turned out very good! My husband loved it. I posted a picture, but mine isn’t as pretty as the picture that’s posted. I’ll definitely be making it again.
Awesome Sherry. Yes, use fresh tomatoes.
The only ingredient I would change is chicken broth to vegetarian broth ? thanks for all the great recipes ?
Yes, vegetarian broth will work very well. This one-pot pasta is amazing!! :)
I think I’m missing something. Where is the recipe? It looks delicious and would love to try it!
The recipe is where the RED button is. It says “GET RECIPE.”

I will create one pasta recipe with Basil and Tomatoes, but spinach is really nice. Try it, I promise.
