A quick meal at the shore

Bring with you all the ingredients for Martha Stewart’s One Pan Pasta. It is quick to make, uses 12 ounces of spaghetti that will feed six VERY hungry adults, or more for smaller appetites. There are only eight ingredients, and you can pick up the fresh basil, tomatoes, and onions on your way to the shore.

The recipe could not be more simple. You can get dinner on in a flash AND you will not be waiting in a long line at a restaurant, nor will you be spending a crazy amount of money the local pizzeria is charging for a humble cheese pizza!

Martha Stewart’s One Pan Pasta

(With a couple of changes by Happy Valley Learn to Cook)

Ingredients

12 ounces spaghetti
12 ounces grape, cherry, or sungold tomatoes, cut in half
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 sprigs of basil, or more if you like, torn into pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
Salt and pepper
4 and 1/2 cups water
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

- Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, grindings of black pepper and the water in a large pan.

- Bring to a boil and let the mixture boil about 3 minutes

- Add the spaghetti.

- Continue cooking the pasta mixture for about eight more minutes, or until the pasta is the texture you like: al dente or softer, and the water has nearly evaporated.

- Season with salt and pepper, put some of the grated Parmesan cheese in the mixture and stir well.

Serve the pasta in bowls, with more Parmesan cheese on top and a bit more oil drizzled on top.
