One-Pot Creamy Tomato Fettuccine

If you’ve ever hit 5:30pm and thought, “I need dinner fast, and I do not want a sink full of dishes,” this one’s for you.

Everything cooks together in one large skillet… fettuccine, cherry tomatoes, onions, broth, and a creamy finish, so there’s no separate pot of boiling water and no draining. While it simmers, the tomatoes break down into a cozy, creamy sauce, and a handful of spinach makes it feel a little more “real dinner” without extra work. What I love about this recipe is you can make it as a vegetarian dish or stir in cooked chicken or browned ground beef to boost the protein. Either way, dinner’s handled and simply delicious.

Cook modePrevent screen from turning off

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb fettuccine nest pasta
• 1 red onion (sliced)
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 6 tbsp tomato puree
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups vegetable broth (+ a splash more if needed)
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Optional protein: 1 lb cooked chicken breast (shredded or cubed) or 1 lb cooked ground beef

Instructions

1. ADD pasta, red onion, cherry tomatoes, garlic, tomato puree, oregano, basil heavy cream, vegetable broth, spinach, and olive oil to a large skillet. (Hold off on the protein and spinach for now.)
2. COVER and bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. BOIL for 11-12 minutes.
4. REMOVE lid and stir. Add additional protein, if desired.
5. SIMMER uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until sauce has thickened to your liking.
6. SEASON with salt and pepper to taste and SERVE.

Notes

▶ Fettuccine nests work great here because they cook right in the sauce. No pre-boiling needed.

▶ Depending on the size of your skillet, add more broth a splash at a time to ensure pasta cooks thoroughly.

▶ This recipe reheats great for leftovers.
