Warm, cozy, and having a blast! |
As an ode to summer ending I am going to post a fun, easy, and surprisingly yummy recipe I tried. I came across the recipe here, but I believe it was dreamed up by Martha Stewart and all of her infinite wisdom. This pasta recipe cooks up super quick and somehow everything all works together despite it being against all food rules. You literally toss everything into a pot and cook away. I ate my leftovers with a bit of bacon mixed in and boy did that pump up the yummy.
Chop up your veggies..make sure to leave a little Basil as a garnish. |
How did this get in here? She is almost 9 months old!!! What!? |
Garnish with a little Parmesan Cheese and fresh Basil. |
My older kids thought I was a cooking master and gobbled it all up! |
One Pot Spaghetti with Tomatoes and Basil Recipe
Source: Apron Strings
1 package of Spaghetti (I used Whole Wheat)
A bunch of garden fresh Tomatoes or a 15 oz can of diced tomatoes
4 cloves garlic
1 Onion
1/2 tsp Pepper Flakes
Handful of fresh Basil
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
4 1/2 C Water
2 TBSP Olive Oil
Parmesan Cheese and Fresh Basil to garnish
Chop up the Tomatoes, slice the Onion and Garlic thinly. Place everything in the pot and bring to a steady boil. Lower the heat to medium low and simmer for approximately 10 minutes, stirring often, until most of the liquid is gone and the noodles are tender. Top with Parmesan Cheese and fresh Basil.
Enjoy!
