How much water for one pot pasta?

To make our tomato basil one pot pasta, you need just 3 cups vegetable stock and 1 cup cooking cream. The reason you need so little water, or, in this case, vegetable stock, is that the pasta is not just cooked in water but rather in a sauce made from combining stock, cream, and diced tomatoes, which contain quite a lot of liquid. The liquid ratio should ideally be around 1:2. Cooking the penne directly in the sauce infuses it with a lot of flavors and cuts down your cleaning time. If it seems too liquid, grated parmesan cheese may be added to thicken and enrich the sauce.

Can you freeze one pot pasta?

You can also reheat it in the oven.
