It’s no secret that I love a good one-pot dinner, and that includes this amazing creamy pasta dish. Why do I think you’ll love it? First, it makes enough spaghetti to feed a family of six. Second, it’s ridiculously fast—as in, it goes from pasta box to pasta plate in just half an hour. And finally, it’s almost more of a template than a recipe, because you can customize it a million ways to suit your taste.
I’m half Italian, so there’s no such thing as too much garlic for me! Instead of a 28-oz. can of Muir Glen crushed tomatoes and basil, I’ll sometimes use two 14.5-oz. cans of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion.
To keep the pasta creamy but a little less rich, I’ll sometimes use half and half instead of the whipping cream called for in this recipe.
You can substitute any type of pasta for this recipe, but short noodles or shapes work best. If you’ve got shells, rotini or macaroni, use ‘em!
This dinner is so easy (and delicious) you’ll want to have spaghetti for dinner every night. I think your family will love it!
