One-Pot Tomato Basil Pasta

This was easy and tasted great! I added chicken italian sausage.

Made this tonight. Cut the water as many suggested. I like one pot meals for their ease. For me this was too starchy. I’m not sure if using the water would have helped this, because the pasta was done right on time using the reduced water. It was ok, but I probably won’t make this again.

What is 'slivered' basil please? 🙂.

Oh this was a great recipe and dish! As it was cooking I was a little nervous because it looked more like a soup rather than a pasta dish. I ended up allowing it to sit for 10/20 minutes after it was finished up to cool up and the liquid disintegrated tremendously. I added some vegan ricotta into my dish for an added twist. It was so good!

I love this recipe so much! It's really flavorful and super easy to throw together during the week when I'm not really in the mood to cook. It got added to the rotation right away.

Great and simple recipe! Tortellini noodles would be great in this recipe too. You could also add mushrooms if you wanted more veggies in it!

It looks tasty, but is mislabeled. At start it says dairy free and vegan. Parmesan cheese is dairy and not vegan.

This recipe was really good. I added a little bit of extra salt and used whole wheat penne, it was wonderful!!

Very good, easy pasta recipe. I made the following changes: (1) Used veg broth to make it vegan, (2) Used part kale and part spinach, as I did not have enough of either for a full recipe of just 1 of them - it was a good combo! (3) I followed others’ suggestions to reduce any of liquid - I used only the 2c of broth. But, I did find that I needed to add a splash more at the end, as it was drying outa bit. And I’m sure I will need to add a bit more when reheating leftovers.

All in all, good flavor, not too spicy, healthy, quick meal. I like that it can easily be adapted to be vegan (use veg broth, vegan cheese), vegetarian (add cheese), gluten-free (use gf pasta), or could add meat (chicken, sausage, etc.). My only “complaint” is that there really isn’t any protein in the vegan version, other than what is in the whole wheat pasta - would have to make some additions or adjustments if you want more protein.

I cooked exactly as the recipe said-using chicken stock since I don’t care if it is vegan/vegetarian. I added spinach instead of kale because I don’t really like kale. This is one of my most favorite recipes for best flavor with minimal effort. Hubby loves it too and we garnished with freshly grated Parmesan. Quick, easy, healthy-even with chicken stock and without kale.

How is this a vegetarian recipe with chicken broth? I'll be using vegetable or mushroom broth.

This is a quick and easy recipe. I used the spinach. I added basil pesto at the end, but it doesn't need it. I'll use spinach next as I think it will add more substance. There might be too much water/broth added. I might cut that back a bit next time and see what happens.

This was amazing because it was delicious and one pot!!! Cut the liquid - then excellent!! A KEEPER!!

This was great. I followed the advice of a previous reviewer and only added the stock. No water. I also used bow tie pasta because that’s what I had the house. Hubby not only loved the dish, he loved that there was only one pot to clean.

This was absolutely amazing! I've been vegetarian for about two years and now working on going vegan. I was getting bored of salads and the basic veggies and fruit combos. I followed this to a T and was amazed of how well it tasted. I would highly recommend making this dish! 5 stars!

This recipe was delicious! I added a bit more crushed pepper then said and it came out to the perfect spiciness! I saw the review that said to add 1.5 cup of broth and no water and it came out great. My pasta was not too runny and not too dry. This pasta recipe is amazing!

I followed this recipe exactly and love that it was quick and easy for a weeknight dinner. I will reduce the water to 1 cup next time because it was too soupy. Had I simmered it longer to reduce, the pasta would have been mushy. I ended up serving it with toasted garlic bread sticks that helped soak up the extra broth.

I only added the 2 cups of broth. I left out the 2 cups of water and I'm glad that i did. Pasta came out a bit soupy even with just the 2 cups of broth. I would definitely make this again but maybe use 1.5 cups of broth.

This was great! Easy to make and my 11-year old loved it too. Mine was still a little soupy when the pasta was fully cooked. I’ll either try to find a thicker whole wheat noodle next time or reduce the liquid slightly. Even being a little soupy it was delicious and adding some cheese for garnish helped (vegan cheese for me and used veggie broth to keep it plant-based).

This is a great, tasty, and easy recipe. I will definitely be making this again. I did do it a little differently though, instead of onion and garlic powder I used an onion and two cloves of garlic. I sauteed both of them, then added the rest of the ingredients.
