EASY One-Pot Cheesy Spaghetti | Delicious 30 Minute Pasta Recipe

One pot. Simple ingredients. Amazing Flavors. Done in 30 minutes. That´s what this Easy One-Pot Cheesy Spaghetti is all about. A dish that will make kids run to the dinner table, yet elegant enough for a weekend dinner, next to a salad and a bottle of Spanish wine.

Seriously folks, this Cheesy Spaghetti has an insane amount of flavor, it´s effortless to put together and once again, it´s a one pot meal. Meaning no extra pans, no extra burners to turn on and an absolute easy clean up.

I used spaghetti in this recipe, but you can use any other type of pasta you have on hand. Such as penne pasta, elbow macaroni or even bow tie pasta. Just use the same amount of pasta to liquid ratio as I did. 2 cups liquid to 8 oz of pasta.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: For the cheese I used fresh mozzarella. But you can use other types of cheese, just make sure they EASILY melt. Like Provolone, Burrata or a Young White Cheddar.

Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
MY FRY PAN
