Then, we’ve got a secret to share with you. By [Jessica Furniss](https://www.allrecipes.com/author/jessica-furniss/) ![Photo of Jessica Furniss]() ![Photo of Jessica Furniss](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/1cs-AuodR0L6rY7Fx9a_F68IhcI=/75x75/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/jessica-furniss-2461540561f843c2a495ff652101eebf.jpg) [Jessica Furniss](https://www.allrecipes.com/author/jessica-furniss/) Jessica Furniss is a recipe developer and food photographer with over 10 years of experience. She specializes in creating how-to articles on baking and creative charcuterie boards for Allrecipes. Jessica is also a \#drinktok influencer on TikTok. [Allrecipes' editorial guidelines](https://www.allrecipes.com/about-us-6648102#toc-editorial-guidelines) Published on July 1, 2025 Spaghetti is one of those meals almost everybody eats, but no two people make it exactly the same. From [traditional Italian sauces](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipes/496/side-dish/sauces-and-condiments/sauces/pasta-sauces/) made from fresh-picked tomatoes slowly simmered for two days, to Southern sauces made with a pinch of white sugar that can be whipped up in 30 minutes, spaghetti recipes are as diverse as the folks who make them. Next time you set out to make your spaghetti recipe, this simple trick will help you create fewer dirty dishes and less mess—which means more time spent gathered around the table with the people you love. The trick is to cook your noodles directly in your sauce. Sounds a little bizarre, but it totally works! By adding uncooked noodles and a little extra liquid into the sauce, you end up with a [simple and delicious meal](https://www.allrecipes.com/grandmas-3-ingredient-dinner-11719813) made in just one pot. [20 Italian Recipes You’ve Probably Never Tried](https://www.allrecipes.com/italian-recipes-youve-never-tried-11688055) It's really important to make sure there's enough extra liquid added to your sauce so the spaghetti cooks properly. Not enough, and you'll have crunchy spaghetti. Too much, and you'll end up with spaghetti soup. Below is a basic recipe for one-pot spaghetti that you can doctor up to be all your own. You can also make your usual recipe; just be sure to add in three to four cups of extra liquid, as directed below, to ensure your noodles cook properly. ## How to Make One-pot Spaghetti ![Spaghetti all'Assassina served in a bowl.]() ![Spaghetti all'Assassina served in a bowl.](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/HLhoYrycgLPM5i-qB5mf1nlozbQ=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/ALR-8534000-spaghetti-allassassina-assassins-spaghetti-VAT-hero-4x3-b-f3617177055043949f46673b7d44c701.jpg) ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA 1. In a large [Dutch oven](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/best-dutch-ovens/) or [soup pot](https://www.allrecipes.com/longform/best-stockpots/), [brown one pound of ground beef](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/how-to-cook-ground-beef/) on medium-high heat until cooked through. 2. Drain and discard any excess grease, and add the beef back to your pot. (Be sure you don't ever pour grease down the drain. [Do this instead](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/how-to-dispose-of-cooking-oil/).) 3. Lower the heat to medium-low, and add 1 jar of store-bought marinara, 1 cup of chicken or beef broth, 1 bunch of chopped fresh basil, 1 clove of finely chopped garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a few sprinkles of [grated Parmesan cheese](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/easiest-way-to-grate-parmesan-cheese/). 4. Cover and cook on medium-low for 15 minutes, stirring once to keep it from sticking. 5. After 15 minutes of cooking, add 3 more cups of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of water (or cream if you like a creamy sauce) to your sauce, and stir to combine. 6. Add 1 pound of thin spaghetti, and raise the heat to medium-high. Break your spaghetti noodles in half if you need to so they all get submerged in the sauce. 7. Bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low or medium-low for 15 minutes, stirring once to make sure it doesn't stick. 8. After 15 minutes, check that your noodles are done, and serve immediately. 9. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days and add a splash of water before reheating. Give this simple trick a try, and you won't have to dread doing the dishes on pasta night. ## Related [9 Mistakes You Might Be Making When Cooking Pasta ![boiled water and spaghetti noodle for cooking italian pasta cuisine]() ![boiled water and spaghetti noodle for cooking italian pasta cuisine](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/jYt_-Tppp4ZwSes8H2r-m8JG0G0=/300x200/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/GettyImages-828566508-2000-d7c701e9bcf44fa29577fec8f11d772f.jpg)](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/cooking-pasta-mistakes/) [20 Top-Rated Recipes That Start with Spicy Hot Italian Sausage ![a colorful bowl of sliced sausage, red bell pepper, and onion over pasta, garnished with Italian parsley]() ![a colorful bowl of sliced sausage, red bell pepper, and onion over pasta, garnished with Italian parsley](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/LQnhfjTHBtRhRFswphYkCsypKiY=/300x200/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/717455_easy-sausage-peppers-and-onions-with-elbows_bellepepper-22437e728e5641baa8a07f676315f2e8.jpg)](https://www.allrecipes.com/gallery/hot-italian-sausage-recipes/) Explore more: - [Kitchen Tips](https://www.allrecipes.com/kitchen-tips/) Was this page helpful?

Are you still boiling your spaghetti noodles? Then, we’ve got a secret to share with you. By [Jessica Furniss](https://www.allrecipes.com/author/jessica-furniss/) ![Photo of Jessica Furniss](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/1cs-AuodR0L6rY7Fx9a_F68IhcI=/75x75/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/jessica-furniss-2461540561f843c2a495ff652101eebf.jpg) Jessica Furniss is a recipe developer and food photographer with over 10 years of experience.

Published on July 1, 2025 Spaghetti is one of those meals almost everybody eats, but no two people make it exactly the same. From [traditional Italian sauces](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipes/496/side-dish/sauces-and-condiments/sauces/pasta-sauces/) made from fresh-picked tomatoes slowly simmered for two days, to Southern sauces made with a pinch of white sugar that can be whipped up in 30 minutes, spaghetti recipes are as diverse as the folks who make them. Next time you set out to make your spaghetti recipe, this simple trick will help you create fewer dirty dishes and less mess—which means more time spent gathered around the table with the people you love. The trick is to cook your noodles directly in your sauce. Sounds a little bizarre, but it totally works! By adding uncooked noodles and a little extra liquid into the sauce, you end up with a [simple and delicious meal](https://www.allrecipes.com/grandmas-3-ingredient-dinner-11719813) made in just one pot. It's really important to make sure there's enough extra liquid added to your sauce so the spaghetti cooks properly. Not enough, and you'll have crunchy spaghetti. Too much, and you'll end up with spaghetti soup. Below is a basic recipe for one-pot spaghetti that you can doctor up to be all your own. You can also make your usual recipe; just be sure to add in three to four cups of extra liquid, as directed below, to ensure your noodles cook properly. ## How to Make One-pot Spaghetti ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA 1. In a large [Dutch oven](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/best-dutch-ovens/) or [soup pot](https://www.allrecipes.com/longform/best-stockpots/), [brown one pound of ground beef](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/how-to-cook-ground-beef/) on medium-high heat until cooked through. 2. Drain and discard any excess grease, and add the beef back to your pot. (Be sure you don't ever pour grease down the drain. [Do this instead](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/how-to-dispose-of-cooking-oil/).) 3. Lower the heat to medium-low, and add 1 jar of store-bought marinara, 1 cup of chicken or beef broth, 1 bunch of chopped fresh basil, 1 clove of finely chopped garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a few sprinkles of [grated Parmesan cheese](https://www.allrecipes.com/article/easiest-way-to-grate-parmesan-cheese/). 4. Cover and cook on medium-low for 15 minutes, stirring once to keep it from sticking. 5. After 15 minutes of cooking, add 3 more cups of chicken broth and 1/2 cup of water (or cream if you like a creamy sauce) to your sauce, and stir to combine. 6. Add 1 pound of thin spaghetti, and raise the heat to medium-high. Break your spaghetti noodles in half if you need to so they all get submerged in the sauce. 7. Bring it to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low or medium-low for 15 minutes, stirring once to make sure it doesn't stick. 8. After 15 minutes, check that your noodles are done, and serve immediately. 9. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days and add a splash of water before reheating. Give this simple trick a try, and you won't have to dread doing the dishes on pasta night. Was this page helpful? Tell us why\!
