This One Pot Pasta is a quick and convenient meal that brings together pasta, vegetables, and protein in a rich, flavorful broth. Everything cooks in a single pot for easy cleanup and a perfectly balanced, comforting dish.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz spaghetti or penne
  • 2 cups chopped vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, zucchini)
  • 1 cup diced protein (chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the chopped vegetables and cook until tender, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Add the diced protein and sauté until cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the uncooked pasta and broth, then stir in the Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  6. Serve hot with an extra drizzle of olive oil or additional cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Swap the protein with Italian sausage, tofu, or white beans for different flavor variations.
  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta to suit dietary needs.
  • Add a splash of heavy cream for a richer sauce.
  • Include crushed red pepper flakes for heat or fresh herbs like basil or parsley for extra freshness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat with a splash of broth or water on the stovetop or in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each.
  • This recipe can be frozen for up to 2 months, though the pasta may soften slightly after thawing.
