One Pot Tomato Rosemary Linguine With Meatballs & Mozzarella
I have been seeing this ‘one pot pasta’ dish all over the internet lately. I’m pretty much sold with anything that involves having to clean up one pot by the time dinner is done. I was a little hesitant to make this dish because I have never put pasta, meat, and every other ingredient all together on the stove. There was always that little part of me asking “will this really work?”
The result was an absolutely delicious, yet simple meal that every single family member (including my kid’s) loved. My favorite thing about this dish is all the variations you can do. I found the basic recipe, which I believe was tomato basil, then added my own twist with the herbs, meatballs, and mozzarella.
There is minimal prep. All you have to do is put all the ingredients in a large pot or deep sauce pan and cook for 10-15 minutes. We will be making this again very soon!
One Pot Tomato Rosemary Linguine With Meatballs & Mozzarella (serves 6-8)
Ingredients:
- 16oz box linguine
- 1 15oz can diced tomatoes (with liquid)
- 3 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 1 small white onion (sliced julienne)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 6 cloves garlic (sliced)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 oz mini mozzarella pearls
- 12 frozen turkey meatballs
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- salt to taste
Place all ingredients in a large pot or large, deep sauce pan. Bring mixture to a boil then cover, reduce heat and cook an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. The key is to make sure not to overcook the pasta. Most of the liquid will be absorbed. Once the pasta is cooked, remove from heat and slowly fold in the mozzarella. Cover and let sit for 3 minutes so the cheese can melt. Serve immediately.
Looks yummy !
Woah! You had me at “one pot” and then I saw it’s only 15 minutes of work! I will be trying this for sure. 🙂 Pinned.
Thanks Maryea! One pot meals are the best 🙂
Looks delicious and easy too. What brand of turkey meatballs do you use?
Hi Barbara,
We use a local brand. There are some great lean turkey meatball choices in the frozen meat section of the supermarket 🙂
I have been questioning these kinds of recipes lately. I am so afraid they’ll flop and I’ll have a soupy mess instead. Good to know they actually work! Your dinner looks magnificent.
You are so sweet! Thank you 🙂
And yes, surprising this dish works. I was hesitant about the soupy mess too. It turned out great!
I wasn’t feeling great the other night so rather than make the dinner I had planned (vegetarian curry that would have required a lot of chopping/sauteing/etc) I decided to make this. I had all the ingredients on hand, including frozen meatballs that I had made and saved a little while ago. It really was as easy as you described and delicious and just right when under the weather. I had seen a bunch of variations bouncing around on line but yours with the meatballs was the best inspiration. Thanks so much!
So glad you liked it 🙂
