This One Pot Cheesy Spaghetti is your go-to comfort meal when you want something easy, creamy, and packed with flavor. Pasta is simmered directly in seasoned chicken broth and finished with a trio of cheeses—Parmesan, Asiago, and Fontina—for the perfect melt. No draining, no fuss—just a super flavorful, velvety sauce and gooey cheese in every bite. Finished with basil and cracked pepper, this is a dish that tastes like it took hours but comes together in just one pan.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Cheese Melting Magic 🧀
    Remove the pot from heat before adding cheese to prevent separation and ensure a smooth, creamy sauce. Stir the cheeses gradually for the most luxurious texture.
  • Liquid Ratio Perfection 💧
    Use a 1:1 ratio of chicken stock to heavy cream for the ideal sauce consistency that coats the pasta without being too thick or thin.
  • Seasoning Layer Technique 🌶️
    Toast your dry spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika) in the olive oil for 30 seconds before adding liquid to unlock deeper, more complex flavors.
  • No-Drain Pasta Hack 🍝
    Stir the spaghetti frequently during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even absorption of the flavorful liquid and seasonings.
  • Fresh Basil Pro Tip 🌿
    Tear fresh basil leaves instead of chopping to prevent bruising and preserve their delicate flavor and vibrant green color.
