Healthy One-Pot Spaghetti with Creamy Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti, broken in half
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
Handful fresh basil leaves, plus more for serving
Large pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 ounces low-fat cream cheese, cut into small pieces

Steps:

Put the spaghetti, oil, tomato paste, garlic, tomatoes, basil, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt in a high-sided medium skillet. Add 5 cups water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to cook, stirring the spaghetti frequently to keep it from clumping, until it is al dente and the sauce has reduced and thickened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and cream cheese (the sauce will thicken more) and season with salt if needed. Top with more Parmesan and sliced and whole basil leaves.
