This pasta has the same flavor as a traditional Italian caprese salad with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, but it's more filling. A big bonus: it's made in one pot! Saves time and minimizes mess. Simply combine all the main ingredients with the spaghetti in a saucepan, cover with water, and cook the pasta and sauce together until tender. Once the pasta is cooked, sprinkle it with grated cheese, fresh basil, and salt to taste. Add shaved Parmesan cheese if desired, and enjoy.
