Italian One-Pan Wonderpot

Tastes great and involves minimal cleanup? This is a keeper!


What you need:
4 cups chicken (or vegetable)
2 tbsp olive oil
12 oz fettuccine
1 28oz can of diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic
1/2 tbsp dried basil
1/2 tbsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
A bit of pepper

With this recipe, you cook the pasta in the broth.
1. Heat the olive oil in the pot. Add the garlic and cook just a minute or two until it turns white.
2. Add the broth and bring to a boil.
3. Break the noodles in half and add them to the pot. Also add the tomatoes, onion, basil, oregano, pepper flakes, and pepper. Make sure everything is covered by the broth.
5. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then turn the heat down to medium.
6. Continue to boil over medium heat for 10-15 minutes. Stir every few minutes to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom, but avoid over stirring.
7. It's done when the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed. If the liquid gets absorbed too quickly and the noodles are not yet done, turn the heat down a bit and add a little more broth.
