TIPS for cooking One Pot Spaghetti:

  1. Get yourself a skillet/pot like the one I have – it’s amazing.
    • No longer do I have to use a HUGE pot, and worry about washing it, nor do I have to squeeze everything into my shallow sided skillet and have the sauce bubble over – this high side skillet is seriously made for these one pot pasta dishes.
  2. Be sure to stir the food every 3-4 minutes while simmering. Otherwise it will get stuck to the bottom of the pan. Use low/medium heat once you are simmering.
  3. Reheating is easy: Add to a microwave safe bowl and cook for 1 minute. Stir and cook another 30 seconds or until heated through.
  4. Use Homemade Marinara Sauce because it is so tasty!
