The Italian Wonder Pot
Pasta that cooks all in one pot, with fresh ingredients, and it's done in 20 minutes? Sounds too good to be true? It isn't -- TRUST ME!
Ingredients
- 1 - 12 ounce box of pasta - I have used egg noodles and spaghetti (break longer pastas in half to fit in the pan better
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups fresh spinach slightly chopped
- 1 medium sized onion, sliced
- 32 ounces of broth, I use chicken broth or you can use vegetable
- 2 - 14.5 ounces cans diced tomatoes, (do not drain)
- 1 Tablespoon dried or fresh basil (rough chop fresh)
- 1/2 Tablespoon dried oregano
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Place all ingredients in your pot.
Make sure to give it a stir so the liquid covers the pasta and veggies.
Place a lid on your pot and cook, on your stove, on high until it begins a rapid boil.
Uncover and turn flame to medium.
Continue cooking for 15 minutes more, pasta will absorb the liquid.
Stir occasionally so pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
DO NOT DRAIN.
Serve, topped with a little fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

Hugs
Shared on my FB page also!!!
Did you ever try it Evelyn?
Awesome, thanks so much for sharing!
I love your page! I will share on my Cooking On A Budget page on Facebook. I am all about easy and inexpensive. Feel free to visit my blog http://pattyandersonsblog.blogspot.com And thanks for this fabulous recipe. I am excited to try it.
Patty, thank you so much for your kind words!! 🙂 I have a Thai version coming next week! — stay tuned!
Hi there! This sounds awesome. I had never actually seen this on Pinterest, but boy does it look wonderful (pun intended). I love that everything cooks together with minimal maintenance so that you can do other things while it’s cooking. I’m sure that with everything cooking together in one pot, the flavors are more developed, too. Can’t wait to try this – thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comment! It is really good!! I also have a wonderpot recipe for Pad Thai that is good too!!
I made this and used vegetable broth….it was pretty good..but it was FANTASTIC the next day. I’m thinking, for me, I want to use chicken broth. But you can’t go wrong with this recipe it is easy, fast, and delicious!
Yes, it’s a keeper! We typically use the chicken broth, because that is what I have on hand. Glad you enjoyed it! The Pad Thai one I have is really good, too!
I am going to try this but I think I will add sauteed chicken or shrimp at the end. I think it will be great!
Many people add chicken to it, I have never tried it. We love it just the way it is, but I know you would be successful adding it!
I have made this several times and shared with friends. It is SO good, easy , quickand makes a bunch. It’s even better leftover! Sometimes I add Italian or polish sausage and it’s good, too. Thanks for sharing!
I bet the sausage is fantastic in it! I need to try that!! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
