This easy recipe for one pot tomato Parmesan pasta cooks all the ingredients up together for a delicious and no fuss pasta supper!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces short pasta (bow-ties, penne, etc)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, plus extra for garnish
  • Salt and pepper
  • ¼ cup cream (optional)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine pasta, broth, water, tomatoes, onion, parsley and oregano in a large pot. Bring to a simmer, and then cook for the amount of time indicated on the pasta box, stirring occasionally, and adding more water if the liquid is absorbed before the pasta is tender.
  2. When the pasta is done, stir in the butter and the cheese until the butter is melted. If you are using the cream, add it now.  Taste and add salt and pepper if you think it needs it.
  3. Divide among plates, topping with a little more Parmesan and a little extra chopped parsley.

Notes

    • Pasta: We like a short pasta for this recipe. We used bow-ties, but penne, elbows, campanelle or any short pasta will work.

    • Chicken Broth: As always, we recommend the kind in the box (as opposed to the can) for the freshest flavor.

    • Sweet Onion: If you want a little more sass to the overall flavor, you can swap in a red onion or a white onion – they have a little more bite.
