Marcella's drunk one pot tomato pasta

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

I know Marcella would just die if she saw this. However, her recipe is so perfect for a quick dinner and I wanted to make it quicker and a faster clean up by cooking the pasta in the sauce. Initially, I was going to try this in my Instant Pot but didn't want to risk the double trouble of Instant Pot Pasta which is almost always either gummy or mushy and the one pot pasta idea. I followed her recipe until the addition of cooking the pasta in white wine. It was heated until almost boiling. Then I broke the pasta in half which is another big No-No. The pasta was cooked for about 10 minutes until it was short of al dente. At that point a few ounces of water was added (about 4-6 ounces) to give more liquid to the pan for the pasta to absorb. The pasta was tasty and easy to make. I think I would use red wine if I did it again. I used Pinot Grigio so the sauce would not be overpowered by a red. But, I don't think that would be the case now that I did the white wine. I heated some leftovers for lunch and it was actually better than it was for dinner.
