One-Pot Spaghetti Recipe

Review: October 8th, 2022 I followed the sauce recipe to the letter, tasted it, and felt it needed a bit more flavor. I decided to add some basil, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt to suit my personal preferences. A suggestion I have is to be diligent and start checking and stirring the pasta once it's added to the sauce to prevent it from clumping together. I appreciate the simplicity of the "one-pot" concept, although it does require some cooking time. Overall, I found it easy to make and the end result was quite tasty. I would definitely make this dish again.

If you immediately add the pasta, you're depriving yourself of flavor for the sake of saving time. Cooking the pasta in the sauce greatly enhances its flavor, compared to just pouring sauce over pre-cooked pasta. Taking the time to let the sauce's flavors meld before adding the pasta is definitely worth it.

I absolutely loved the final result of this recipe. I followed it mostly as written, but I decided to include 2 chopped celery stalks and a diced green bell pepper. The instructions were easy to follow and even though I adjusted the cooking time to achieve my preferred pasta texture, the flavor was outstanding and, most importantly, the sauce wasn't watery! By following this method, you'll end up with perfectly saucy pasta with meat that isn't watery in the slightest. Pair it with some crusty bread to soak up every last bit on your plate, and you've got a meal ready to go! I will definitely be making this recipe again!

Fast and simple. The recipe lacks salt, so we found the sauce needed it, but adding it while cooking did the trick. Clean-up was a breeze with this one-pot meal. Will definitely be making this recipe repeatedly.

Simple and straightforward ingredients were used in this recipe, following it exactly.

This recipe is absolutely delicious! I enjoyed it with garlic bread. I highly recommend it to my friends, as well as mothers with children.

Thank you for sharing this recipe! It was incredibly simple to prepare in just one pot. It made perfect sense not to create unnecessary mess with additional pots and colanders for the pasta. The pasta-to-liquid ratio was spot on, resulting in a satisfying consistency. I opted for extra ground beef and substituted Italian seasoning for the chili powder and oregano, enhancing the richness of the dish with beef base paste. Following another reviewer's advice, I included ground fennel seed for a delightful twist that complemented the tomato sauce beautifully. While I simmered the sauce for 30 minutes before incorporating the pasta, next time I may add the pasta sooner for efficiency without compromising on flavor. My husband thoroughly enjoyed this meal!

We found it to be quite enjoyable. The level of chili pepper was just perfect. Extremely delicious.

I prepared this dish for dinner tonight and it turned out to be a delightful meal. Although it took a bit longer to cook compared to making the components separately, the end result was worth it. Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I adjusted the portions to serve 2-4 people instead of 6, ensuring we had leftovers for tomorrow. I included an extra small can of tomato sauce, a touch more water, and added some mushrooms to enhance the flavor. I also mixed in Italian seasoning and only used half the amount of cinnamon. I plan on making this dish again in the future. Despite my usual stomach sensitivity to pasta, this meal sat well with me.

This recipe is quick and delicious, but I omitted the chili powder and instead used Italian seasonings and a dash of salt! I prefer my spaghetti to have an Italian flavor, not a Mexican one.
