Some nights, all you want is a warm, comforting bowl of cheesy pasta, but when you're already exhausted, making it from scratch can feel like more effort than it's worth. Boiling the pasta separately, cooking the vegetables and preparing a sauce can quickly turn into a sink full of dishes. But what if you could skip all that and make the entire dish in a single pot? This easy one-pot pasta comes together quickly, with minimal fuss and even less cleaning up, making it perfect for lazy evenings.
Vidhi Doshi, who shares easy and delicious vegetarian recipes on Instagram under the name Ramen Haired Girl, has shared her recipe for a one-pot garlic Parmesan pasta that strikes the perfect balance between creamy, cheesy and spicy. In an Instagram video shared on August 21, the food blogger revealed that the dish has become a regular in her kitchen, writing, “I’ve been making this on repeat. Like, it’s insane how many times we eat this! I’ve become a pasta girlie and I eat it twice a week, many, many versions and hopefully I get to share a lot more!”

Ingredients
- 200g spaghetti
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 to 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 to 2 fresh red chillies, finely chopped
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp mushroom broth powder (or as required)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables of your choice, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- ½ cup cream
- ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- ½ to ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup green olives, sliced
- ¼ cup Kalamata olives, sliced
Method
- Heat butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped garlic, fresh red chillies and chilli flakes. Sauté until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Stir in the mushroom broth powder, ensuring it combines well with the aromatics. This adds a rich umami flavour to the pasta.
- Add the spaghetti, followed by the chopped vegetables and salt. Pour in enough water to cook the spaghetti and bring to a simmer.
- Cook until the spaghetti is almost done and the liquid has reduced, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking.
- Stir in the cream during the final three minutes of cooking and allow it to coat the pasta.
- Turn off the heat and add freshly cracked black pepper, grated Parmesan, green olives and Kalamata olives. Toss well until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
- Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy, garlicky and spicy pasta.
