How To Make Camping Spaghetti In One Pot

This is one of our easy camping meals that is really fast to prep AND does not sacrifice flavor in the process.


Step 1. Prepare the veggies and measure out all ingredients.

You only have to chop a bit of onion and garlic for this easy camping pasta recipe so the prep work is pretty quick.

Step 2. Set up your cooking gear.

If you are making this as one of our campfire recipes, you’ll need to get your fire going in order to cook over coals (not flames) … you can also use charcoal briquettes.

If fire restrictions prevent you from using an open flame … or you just prefer cooking with propane, you can also make this as one of our camp stove recipes so get your stove ready for cooking on a level surface.

Step 3. Cook the veggies and the sausage.

I like making this as one of our Dutch oven camping recipes and I use my 12-inch oven for this recipe but you can use a cast iron skillet (like I did when I took these photos) or a non-stick skillet if you are cooking over a propane stove.

Over the medium-high heat of a campfire or camp stove, saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil … stirring until they are softened.

Then, add the sausage … while it cooks, break it up so it has nice bite-sized pieces … cook it until it is just shy of being completely cooked.


Step 4. Add the liquid.

Now it is time to add the liquid directly to the pot, it will consist of the spaghetti sauce and water which you will bring up to a boil.

Add the salt and pepper now too.

Camp Cooking Tip: You can avoid boiling pasta at the campsite by pre-boiling it at home and just re-heating it at the campsite or you can just boil it directly in the sauce, like we are doing with this camping one pot pasta.


Step 5. Add the pasta to the pot and cook.

You are going to add the dried pasta to the sauce and stir it in to submerge it into the sauce so it can boil in there.

At this point, you need to reduce the heat to a simmer and let the spaghetti cook to your liking.

We like our pasta al dente and with a thin spaghetti it usually takes about 10 minutes to cook.

Camp Cooking Tip:
When you are cooking over a campfire or with charcoal briquettes, just remove
as many coals as necessary to lower the heat. If you are cooking over a propane
stove, just turn the knob down. Remember that cast iron equipment retains heat
for longer periods of time that other camp cookware materials so it won’t be an
instantaneous heat reduction.


Step 6. Add the cheese and basil.

Using fresh basil and Parmesan cheese to top this simple pasta camping meal really makes the flavors come to life. Enjoy!
