Tips For One Making Cheesy Spaghetti
- Be sure not to overcook your spaghetti noodles. I always cook for one minute less than suggested to have a little bite to my noodles.
- Use your favorite protein for a more hearty meal. I’ve used chopped rotisserie chicken, ground beef, Italian Sausage and even shrimp.
- Saute any of your favorite vegetables to add as well. This is a versatile weeknight meal to get creative with!

I’m drooling. The dish is so great! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
I made this and it was so good and flavorful! Our family of 3 ate the whole pot. My only complaint is that it took forever for my pasta to cook in the sauce. It certainly was not 7-8 minutes. More like 20 or longer. I will make again definitely but cook the pasta separately.
So cheesy~ One pot spaghetti is the best >.< (I'm too lazy to wash two pots) Thank you for sharing the recipe!!
So much cheese, so little time! Looks amazing, and love that it calls for only one pot!
My mouth is watering over this dish!
So nice and easy and I love all of the melted cheese!
Who can say no to all that cheese!
what awesome comfort food Jenny!
