PRO TIP • OCTOBER EDITION • ONE POT SPAGHETTI RECIPE BY GOOP

Oct 8

One pot = less dishes…what’s not to love?!

BECAUSE REALLY, WHO DOESN’T NEED A ONE-POT SPAGHETTI RECIPE AFTER A LONG DAY?

I was scrolling through IG reels of Geri Hirsch’s on IG recently and saw her cook this goop-approved one-pot spaghetti recipe & am so glad I did. I lean towards super basic recipes when cooking at home, and this one tastes elevated and restaurant-quality…only in reality, the sauce and pasta takes less than 30 min to make!

There are few things I love more than a warm plate of tomatoey, cheesy spaghetti. So simple, yet so good. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to try a one-pot recipe like this…but it’s truly a game-changer since all you have to do is put the raw pasta in water along with aromatics and veggies you have on hand & cook everything together ALL at ONCE!

I’ve cooked this recipe a few times now and usually it gets love on Sundays or long, hectic workdays where I want something comforting, delicious, and easy. P.s. Don’t be afraid to use the anchovies! I was shocked by how much amazing flavor they bring to the dish. But not gonna lie, I make my husband Kyle cut them up for me ;)

Check out the recipe below:

Ingredients

½ pound spaghetti

1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half if large

3 cloves garlic, grated or very finely minced

½ cup oil-cured olives

3 oil-packed anchovy fillets (optional)

grated zest of 1 organic lemon

½ teaspoon chili flakes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon ground pepper

3 cups water

grated Parmesan cheese, to taste

fresh basil leaves, torn

Directions | SERVES 4

1. Combine all the ingredients except the Parmesan and basil in the pot. (You need something wide and shallow with a lid that will hold the spaghetti lying flat.)

2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, stir to make sure the noodles aren’t sticking and cover halfway with the lid. Cook, half-covered, stirring every couple of minutes, until the noodles are tender and the liquid has reduced to a nice sauce, about 12 minutes.

3. Divide among 4 bowls. Top with the Parmesan and basil.

Tag me on IG if you make this :) I guarantee it’s worth making. XOXO -Erica
