Description
This Cheesy One Pot Pasta changes the game for one-pot meals! It’s incredibly easy to make – no draining of the pasta needed – and it’s loaded with cheese, marinara and perfectly cooked penne pasta!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (24.5 oz) jar marinara sauce
- 24 oz chicken broth, or water
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 16 oz penne pasta
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. In a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottom pot, add olive oil and onion. Sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.
2. Add garlic and sauté for 30 more seconds.
3. Add marinara sauce, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.
4. Pour in the pasta, stir well, and reduce heat to simmer. Stir often to keep pasta from sticking.

6. Add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and serve immediately.
Notes
How to add ground beef or turkey: Add the ground meat with the onion and cook, breaking it apart, until no pink remains. Drain any excess grease and continue with the recipe.
