3-Ingredient One Pot Pasta

A cozy, comforting dish that only needs 3 main ingredients!

Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 jar (approx. 25 oz.) marinara sauce
  • 12 ounces pasta
  • *Optional garnish: grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves
Method
  1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef. Cook, breaking beef into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Add salt.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add marinara sauce to pot with beef. Fill empty marinara jar with water (approx. 3 cups) and add to the pot as well. Stir to combine. Add pasta and stir again.
  3. Bring pasta and sauce to a simmer (just barely bubbling). Cook, for 15 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure pasta does not stick to the bottom. Add 1 more cup water and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes more.
  4. Garnish with parmesan and fresh basil. Serve immediately.
