This One Pot Spaghetti is a game-changer! Here’s why I adore it:
-
: Cooking everything in one pot means fewer dishes to wash afterward. Who doesn’t love that?
-
: The pasta absorbs all the delicious flavors from the sauce and ingredients, making every bite a delight.
-
: With just a few simple steps, you can have a hearty meal ready in no time.
To make this delightful dish, gather the following ingredients:
-
12 oz (340g) spaghetti
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 medium onion, chopped
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
-
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
1 teaspoon dried basil
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
-
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Next, pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), broth, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
Add the spaghetti to the pot. Make sure it’s submerged in the liquid. Bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until the spaghetti is cooked al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, remove from heat. If desired, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy your delicious One Pot Spaghetti!
This One Pot Spaghetti is perfect on its own but can also be paired with:

Garlic bread for that extra indulgence.

Absolutely! Whole wheat spaghetti works great and adds more fiber to your meal.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to loosen it up.
Yes! Just use vegetable broth and skip the cheese topping or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
You can use water instead of broth; however, using broth enhances the flavor significantly.
I hope you enjoy making this One Pot Spaghetti as much as I do! It’s a simple yet satisfying meal that brings comfort without all the fuss. Happy cooking!
