Ingredients
- 16 oz pasta (I used gemelli)
- 1x 24 oz jar pasta sauce

- shredded cheese or parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Set the Ninja to stovetop high.
Place 4 cups of water into the Ninja.
Put the pasta into the Ninja, pushing it down to cover as much as possible with the water.
Pour the pasta sauce over the pasta
Put the 1/4 cup of water into the sauce jar and swirl it around to get any remaining sauce, then pour that into the Ninja.
Switch the Ninja to oven 300 f.
Place the cover onto the Ninja.
Cook for 30 minutes.
Stir and serve immediately, garnishing with shredded cheese or parmesan cheese of you like.

Sounds easy enouh to make and enjoy. Makes for a quick meal or side dish and if you can walk away to continue doing something else all the better.
I’m all about pasta, so I’ll be trying this. So far, I haven’t tried a pasta I haven’t liked it. I could eat it daily.
I never would have thought of this new alternative way to make pasta. It looks so simple to do and the final dish looks delicious.
It is the age we live in, now we have a way to make pasta and sauce in one step. I need to get a Ninja system and make all these great dishes with almost no effort.
Wow! That’s an amazing thing! One of the least things I like to do is drain the water from the pasta. In fact, because of that, I rarely cook pasta at my home. I need to check into the Ninja system.
Love that this is no messy draining and no burning my tongue when tasting to see if it’s done.
This is news to me and I’d love one less step in pasta making. I need to check into the Ninja system
I have heard a lot of good things about the Ninja kitchen iq system. We have a few Ninja appliances, but not this one. I like seeing the different things that you can make in it!
Hands up I LOVE pasta and this recipe sounds absolutely delicious and hands up I can definitely do with it being no drain.
Pasta is always something easy to cook for us. The way you describe how quick the Ninja Cooking System works sounds more convincing.
I love things that are fast and easy, and I sure love pasta as well! I’ll have to find this pasta the next time I’m grocery shopping!
I love that kind of pasta, I bought a pack from the store one time and it was delicious with it’s included stuff. It was spicy but really good.
This pasta looks amazing!!! I have a ninja cooking system but have never made this before!! YUM!!
I want to try this out! I always seem to burn myself while draining pasta. That sauce looks delicious too.
We love our Pasta. But yes we do feel that sometimes, the stirring, keeping an eye out while the pasta cooks and getting the right amount of water, becomes a little cumbersome, this is definitely a convenient and hassle-free method.
The NINJA cooking system looks really amazing. The noodles look good too. And now I am hungry again. Super.
My favorite dinners are made with no drain pasta. I do not know why I hate to drain pasta so much, but I do!
yum! this looks delicious. I’ve never thought to make pasta in the ninja system. I’ll have to check it out.
Draining anything makes a mess around here.
This is genius! I love a good one pot meal.
I want to try this out, definitely I am doing that tomorrow. Pastas are a favorite and your recipe is genius really
