A simple and delicious one pot pasta recipe cooked entirely in a Dutch oven. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup, this recipe combines pasta, tomatoes, garlic, and herbs for a comforting meal.
12 ounces dried spaghetti pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes with juice
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the dried spaghetti pasta, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes to the Dutch oven.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and the vegetable broth.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent pasta from sticking.
Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove the Dutch oven from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
