You know those nights when cooking feels like a marathon? Yeah, I had one of those recently. It was 6 PM, and I was exhausted from the day. I stared at the fridge and thought, ‘Please don’t make me chop, sauté, or boil anything.’
That’s when I remembered this simple one-pan pasta recipe I had seen online. I was skeptical but desperate, so I decided to give it a whirl. I tossed everything into the pan and realized I forgot to add the cheese until the very end! But honestly, it turned out just fine, melty goodness and all.
Ingredients
12 oz pasta of your choice.
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes.
2 cups vegetable broth.
1 teaspoon garlic powder.
1 teaspoon dried basil.
Salt and pepper to taste.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
Fresh basil for garnish.
How to Make It
In a large pan, combine the pasta, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and gooey.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
Serve
This pasta is perfect for a cozy dinner. Just grab a fork and dig in straight from the pan!
