I found a couple of these 'one pot wonder' recipes on Pinterest and this one sounded quick and tasty so I decided to give it a shot for dinner tonight. With a few small changes to the original we had a pretty decent meal in record time!
INGREDIENTS
- 12 ounces pasta (I used thin spaghetti because I had it on hand)
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes with liquid (I used fire roasted garlic flavor)
- 6 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
- 4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- a handful of chopped fresh spinach
- 1 can Great Northern beans (rinsed and drained)
- salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Place pasta, tomatoes, and garlic in a large stock pot. Pour in vegetable broth. Sprinkle on top the pepper flakes and oregano.
- Cover pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low simmer and keep covered and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so. Cook until almost all liquid has evaporated.
- Add spinach and beans in the last minute or two.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir pasta several times to distribute the liquid in the bottom of the pot evenly throughout the pasta as you are serving.
Everyone thought it was pretty good but we decided together that next time we'll skip the beans (my 16 year old just isn't a fan of the texture) and instead add mushrooms and broccoli. I will definitely be making this one again, as well as trying other 'one pot wonder' recipes. They're especially perfect for days I end up having to work late, leaving little to no time for cooking!
