This Easy One Pot Creamy Tomato Pasta is a simple, flavorful dish made with fresh tomatoes, garlic, onions, and creamy double cream, all cooked in one pot for an easy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

250 g (½ lb) uncooked spaghetti

500 g (1 lb) fresh tomatoes, chopped (or use 1 x 400 g tin of chopped tomatoes)

2 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, finely chopped

500 ml (2 cups) chicken or vegetable stock

150 ml (¾ cups) double cream

½ bunch fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add the chopped fresh tomatoes (or canned tomatoes) and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.
  3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the uncooked spaghetti to the pot, pushing it down into the sauce so that it’s mostly submerged. Cover and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and has absorbed much of the sauce.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the double cream, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with additional basil if desired.

Notes

For a vegan option, use plant-based cream and vegetable stock.

To make the sauce thicker, simmer the pasta longer or stir in more cream.

You can use gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free option.

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently with a bit of water or broth.

For added protein, you can include grilled chicken, shrimp, or sausage.
