One Pot Pasta Recipe

Hi everyone and welcome back to my channel. Today Im sharing with you one of the easiest
meals you can make, one pot pasta. Its easy, delicious and quick so let me
share with you the recipe. The idea of this dish is you put all the ingredients
into one pot, cook it then your done, it couldnt be simpler.

Start by placing the spaghetti in the middle
of a large pan. Make sure it sits flat so it will be covered
by the water, if it doesnt just snap it in half. I recommend using spaghetti with this dish
as it cooks faster than most other type of pasta but if you really wanted to use a different
type you could. Next Im thinly slicing up half of a yellow
onion and adding it to the pan with the pasta.

You dont need to arrange it as nicely as
I am, its all going to be mixed together anyway. If you would like the full recipe for this
one pot pasta it will be listed in the information box below as well as a printable version on
my website just click the link on the screen. Im using a bunch of different coloured
cherry tomatoes to add flavour as well as pops of colour. They dont need to to cherry tomatoes, you
can use whatever tomatoes you have on hand.

Thats the great thing about this dish is
Im giving you a base and you can add and take out whatever you would like to make it
your own. I find thats how you create your favourite
meals. This is also a great way to use up odd veggies
that you have sitting around in your fridge. Slice the tomatoes in half or into small pieces
and add to the pan with the spaghetti and onion.

I dont think you can have pasta without
garlic, I always add it anyway. Im using one quite large clove, so use
a couple if yours are smaller. Use your knife to crush the garlic, this allows
the skin to basically fall off. Finely chop the garlic with a large knife
and add to the pan.

This dish is designed to be easy and fool
proof so if you dont have much time and you dont rate yourself at cooking then
you need to give this one a try. The pasta flavourful and the sauce is thick
and creamy as its used to cook the pasta. If you ever want to make your pasta sauces
more creamy, forget cream and add some of the pasta cooking water. Its full of starch which will do a much
better job than cream.

And lastly is basil. Its easy to miss this one out if you dont
have any but it packs so much flavour and sweetness. It really makes the dish pop so make sure
you dont skip it. Youll need about a handful, add most of
it to the pan now but leave a few leaves for when you plate.

As well as water there are a couple more ingredients
I like to add to make up the sauce. The first is good quality Olive Oil, add a
few tablespoons, dont worry about measuring this doesnt need to be exact. The olive oil makes the sauce super silkly
but also helps the spaghetti not stick together. As well as oil add about a tablespoon of balsamic
vinegar.

Balsamic has a very strong sweet but also
tart flavour that goes perfectly with tomatoes. It really depends the flavour of this sauce. Pour 2 cups of water or chicken stock into
the pan and place on the heat. Dont forget to season with a generous pinch
of salt and pepper.

Heat the pasta over medium heat giving it
a quick toss. Keep an eye on it for the first few minutes
or so until the spaghetti has begun to soften, use tongs to toss occasionally to stop the
pasta sticking. Cook the pasta for about 10-15 minutes over
a low simmer until the sauce thickens and the spaghetti is completely cooked. Finish off with some parmesan cheese and few
extra basil leaves and its ready to serve.

This dish couldnt be easier, its quick
and delicious, creamy and satisfying so make sure to give it a try. Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed
this recipe and Ill see you in my next video. Bye..
