Ingredients

• 12 ounces of spaghetti
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, chopped
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup spinach, fresh
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
3. Add the sliced zucchini and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, vegetable broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5. Once boiling, add the spaghetti to the pot, stirring to ensure it's submerged in the liquid. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover.
6. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid has reduced to a sauce-like consistency.
7. Stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot.
