How to Make All In One Pot Saucy Pasta
- Brown 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage) in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, to the pot.
- Cook and stir for 5 minutes, or until the onion is crisp-tender.
- Stir in 1 (16 ounce) box pasta (any short pasta shape works well), 2 cups water, and 1 (24 ounce) jar of your favorite pasta sauce (marinara, alfredo, etc.).
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini).
- Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pasta is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (or your favorite cheese). Serve immediately.
