One-Pot Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Excellent idea! In fact I did that very thing the other night before I ever saw this recipe. Why have we been messing with that large pot of water to cook pasta all this time?? It takes a little watching at first but so much easier to clean up. Try it, you'll wish you'd been doing this all along.

I’ve made this for years from a recipe named Cuban spaghetti maybe? Slight changes, I substitute the water with chicken broth, make it with ground beef and add a larger can of sliced black olives towards the end. I had been thinking of trying sausage, next time I will!

We loved this. I added mushrooms and a can of tomatoes, and extra pasta sauce and topped it with lots of shaved parmesan cheese. I will definitely make this again and again. I love one pot meals!

I am NOT a novice cook and it took 50 minutes to cook this and 3 cups of water. Total waste of time and effort.

Love it, easy to make and very tasty. I do suggest using a good sauce and maybe adding personal favorite spicing like garlic or oregano to taste.

I always add a bit extra to my spaghetti but my mother in law taught me this One pot version and it came out amazing Iv never tasted a spaghetti with this much flavor !!! We added fried garlic and colorful peppers and we used Saxon seasoning , garlic powder , and one can of tomato paste along with 2 large Jars of Ragu Chunky Garlic & tomato sauce !!!! Best recipe ever .

Awesome! My husband also loved it . Quick to make and cook.

Kid approved, fast, and tasty. I made the recipe as written, only substituting ground beef for sausage. Definitely more than 4 servings, imo.

I used hot Italian sausage and also added a little honey. My husband loved this. I will be making again.

Overall this is a very tasty recipe. I did add more water and spaghetti sauce as it seemed the sauce was thickening before the noodle were getting done. I would make this again but probably change the order in which I add the ingredients (add the meat mixture on top of the noodles), so that everything cooks properly. I do like that the sauce was very thick and not watery.
Thank you for a delicious dinner tonight.
😊😊

The spaghetti noodles ended up sticking together but once I fixed that it was fine

Made a type of goulash with this recipe and it turned out great. I added about another half a cup of water. So much better not having to cook the noodles in a separate pot.

This was great! I did end up needing about 6oz more water though.

So good. Came out great! I used ground beef instead and used oregano. Some tomatoe chunks also. So much more easy all together in one pot for a mom of 4 like myself. Will def be making again!

I will make this again. We have spaghetti about once a week. It's nice not to have to use two pans to make it. I think next time I will add the whole 12 oz box of spaghetti and add another 1/2 cup of water.

I added a small chopped bell pepper and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms with the onion and garlic. It was delicious and so easy to make!

Made it as directed. This is my new way to make spaghetti!! impossible for anyone to screw up!!

the steps could be clearer, i know you add the ground meat to the sauce but you dont specify when. telling people that there is not boiling water step would be helpful as well. and some salt is good too

Easy and delicious!

I used thawed precooked frozen meatballs. This still worked great!

I will not make again

Made it as directed. This is my new way to make spaghetti!! impossible for anyone to screw up!!

I had to add a couple more cups of water because the sauce was too thick but overall it tasted really good.

Made this for the kids. They loved it and it is so easy.

Recipe was excellent. The flavors were on point. Adding additional ingredients made it better. Extra sauteed garlic, some mushrooms, diced poblano peppers. I also used the hot variety of pork sausage and elbow pasta. This is the only way to make this dish, for me anyway. can't beat one-pot meals! Next time I plan on trying this in my Instant pot.

Delicious. Easy , quick dinner and Easy to follow one pot recipe. Adjust water up or Dow depending on how thick you like the sauce. I use with ground turkey or ground chicken and whatever pasta that’s on hand.

Cooking the spaghetti in one pan gives the pasta more flavor. My husband thought this was the best spaghetti ever. I didn't modify the recipe, it is delicious.

Super easy and turned out great! Will not be making spaghetti any other way

Turned out delicious! I had 1.5 lbs of beef to use, added 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning, and some salt and pepper. Cooked the garlic, then onion, then ground beef. Ended up not needing to cook as long with the pasta at the end, maybe only 12 mins or so. Sauce does cook down a lot so if you want it more saucy, add more to start. Will definitely make again!

2 cups of water made the spaghetti very soupy. Add less next time

The steps in the one pot spaghetti recipe that I've been using are way more complicated than this and the recipe is not as well written. This is much easier to follow and will be my new go to recipe for spaghetti with meat sauce. The key is not to add too much spaghetti. I never have been able to determine with any accuracy how much spaghetti is in half a box because I've never seen an 8 oz. box of spaghetti. All are 16 oz. boxes. So, the amount of liquid to use is always a guesstimate.
