Which Pasta Is Best for One Pot Pasta?

You should use spaghetti as they will get cooked evenly.

Angel hair will work well too but you might want to cut down the cooking time by 1 – 2 minutes.

Thicker pasta like fettucine is not a great choice because they are thicker and harder to cook through.

Pot or Pan?

For the cookware, you can use a pot, for example: a Dutch oven, or a wide soup pot.

I like to use my skillet for pan pasta. For the best results, make sure your cookware is wide enough for the spaghetti noodles.

If not, break the spaghetti into halves so they are covered by the sauce while cooking.

If the pot or pan is too narrow, the pasta will not get cooked properly.

Cooking Tips

This is one of the best homemade Italian pasta recipes.

For the best result, please follow the cooking tips below:

• You can use a pot, pan or skillet for this recipe. I recommend a non-stick pot, pan or skillet to avoid the dry spaghetti from sticking to the bottom of the cookware.
• If you use a stainless steel cookware, remember to use the spatula to flip up the spaghetti so they don’t stick to the bottom.
• Add more chicken broth if the sauce dries up and the spaghetti is not fully cooked.
• For tomatoes, I recommend Campari tomatoes as they are juicier, sweeter and less acidic, making the Campari’s a top choice for this recipe.
