With summer almost here, seasonal fruits and veggies are just begging to be eaten. So here's (arguably) one of the easiest and tastiest meals that is sure to become a weeknight favourite. Why? Because it only uses one pot and only takes 30 minutes max.
Ingredients350g spaghetti
350g cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered if large
1 onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon oregano
2-3 sprigs fresh basil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 1/2 vegetable stock
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Literally, ONE pot pasta
Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and water in a large pot or pan. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil mixture, stirring and turning pasta frequently with tongs, until pasta is al dente and water has nearly evaporated, about 9 minutes.
Step 2
Season to taste with salt and pepper, divide among 4 bowls, and garnish with basil. Serve with oil and Parmesan.
Step 3
Serve with some ciabatta and olive oil, with a side salad.
Serves 4.
Things to try
This is a recipe based on one from Martha Stewart, but she uses water instead of stock. I also added some zucchini but there must be so many other things that could be added to this meal. Maybe try some chopped up chorizo and/or mushrooms.
