One Pot Pasta

This one pot pasta dish cooks spaghetti with smoky andouille sausage, fresh onion, grape tomatoes, basil, and garlic directly in water, allowing the flavors to meld as the pasta boils. Stirred with freshly grated Parmesan and finished with olive oil, it delivers a flavorful, saucy pasta with minimal cleanup.
