One-Pot Pasta
Ingredients:
- 6 ounces of pasta (your choice, could be spaghetti, penne, etc.)
- 1.5 cups of tomato sauce
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups of water
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the pasta, tomato sauce, and the water to the pot. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Let the pasta cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked to your liking and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot. Enjoy your one-pot pasta!
