This delicious one pot creamy tomato basil pasta is really a one pot. You throw everything in a pot, cook it up, and will love every single bite.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 2 3/4 cups chicken broth (I use low sodium)
- 1 pound spaghetti, broken in half
- 4 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced (about 1 heaping teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 to 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
- In a large pot (5- to 6-quarts), combine the milk, broth, spaghetti, garlic, oregano, cherry tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and gently simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring often so the pasta doesn’t stick. Adjust the heat accordingly especially at the end. Cook until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Off the heat, stir in the basil leaves and the Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately (if you want it slightly thicker, let it rest 5-10 minutes; it will thicken as it stands).
