I am always searching for one-pot meals. This One Pot Creamy Spaghetti is full of flavor and cooks into a delicious and filling meal. The spaghetti cooks in one pot with crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth with a little kick of heat and creaminess!
I must emphasize that this recipe calls for regular sized spaghetti. The size of the spaghetti or pasta is significant in one pot meals. If you use a different pasta, you will have to keep an eye on the liquid ratio. I have used thin spaghetti in the dish, and I lowered the vegetable broth by 1 cup, and it turned out perfect.
The original recipe called for Italian sausage.Since I don’t eat meat, I added extra seasonings along with onion and garlic to give this dish flavor. I have to say, the flavors are spot on! This recipe does have a really good kick from the red pepper flakes. Feel free to adjust the red pepper flakes for more or less heat, or omit altogether. Either way, this One Pot Creamy Spaghetti is a satisfying
