Easy One Pot Pasta in the Oven

There is no question that pasta dishes are some of the post loved and popular dishes on FFF and (really) all the world. When you are in a pinch, sometimes there just isn’t time to sauté, mix, and boil. You need a quick fix. This easy one pot pasta is made in the oven (yes, the oven!). You add all of your ingredients to a casserole dish or dutch oven and bake it until creamy.

Ingredients You Need

Dried pasta- you can use any type of dried pasta that you would like. We were feeling linguine, but use whatever your heart desires. Roasted red peppers- the roasted red peppers add a delicious sweetness to this pasta. We recommend buying them already roasted. Just drain the liquid from the roasted red peppers and you’re all set. Mushrooms– the mushrooms in this pasta soak up all of the delicious flavors in the pasta sauce while they’re baking. SO good. Chicken broth- you need some kind of liquid to cook the pasta. Using some kind of broth adds so much more flavor than just using water. We used chicken broth, but beef broth or veggie broth would work, too. Tomato paste– the tomato paste thickens the sauce while it cooks along with the starch from the pasta. Garlic- pasta isn’t pasta without garlic!Salt – the salt enhances all of the flavors in the whole dish, don’t skip it. Spices ( pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, garlic powder)– this simple spice mix adds Heavy Cream– you add a little bit of heavy cream to the pasta dish after the pasta is baked and mixed. It creams it up just right.

What Pan Can Should I Use?

We used a 9×13 casserole dish with a cover because it fit our linguinie noodles. . It is a great option for a baked one pot pasta. You can also use a large dutch oven. It all depends on what pasta you use and if your pan or pot is long enough for your pasta of choice.

Can I Make this on the Stove Top?

Yes you can make this recipe on the stove top! Place all of your ingredients in a large stock pot over medium/high heat and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and let simmer for 7-10 minutes or until your pasta is al dente. Casserole Dish

Tips + Tricks

Make the sauce separately

We highly suggest whisking the broth and tomato paste in a separate bowl or in the casserole or pot before adding the rest of the ingredients. You want to be sure that the tomato paste is dissolved into the broth.

Be sure to stir the pasta

Once you combine all of the ingredients together be sure to stir the pasta and spread it out evenly throughout the dish so that it doesn’t stick together during the cooking process.

Change up the ingredients

Don’t like mushrooms? No problem, use bell peppers or cherry tomatoes. Forgot to buy roasted red peppers? Use sun dried tomatoes. The point here is that you can use your favorite veggies, ingredients in this recipe are very easy to substitute.

Make it Spicy

Add a little heat to this recipe by adding 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the broth.

Storage Options

Let your pasta cool completely before placing it in an airtight container and place it in the fridge for to 5 days. To reheat the pasta, add the pasta to a skillet and add 1-2 tablespoons of broth to the pan. Heat the pasta over medium/low heat until it reaches your desired temperature.
