One-Pot Pasta With Spinach & Tomatoes
Pasta is an easy and flexible way to make a main meal in one-pot. Thanks to our friends at Cooking Light here’s a pasta recipe featuring budget-friendly diced tomatoes and spinach. If you’re not into this combo then try some of these riffs:
Riff 1: Use fresh grape tomatoes instead, and add fresh herbs.
Riff 2: Swap out spaghetti for any short pasta shape, such as elbow macaroni, rotini, or shells.
Riff 3: Try adding chopped skinless, boneless chicken thighs, ground beef, or ground turkey for a heartier dish.

One-Pot Pasta with Spinach & Tomatoes
Directions
Heat a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat. Add onion and garlic to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until onion starts to brown. Add tomatoes, stock, oregano, and pasta, in that order. Bring to a boil.
Stir to submerge noodles in liquid. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 7 minutes or until pasta is almost done. Uncover; stir in salt.
Add spinach in batches, stirring until spinach wilts. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, and serve.
