One Pan Pasta Dinner: Easy and Delicious

Ingredients

• 12 oz pasta (spaghetti or linguine)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and diced bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Stir in the sliced zucchini, diced tomatoes (with juices), vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the pasta, ensuring it is submerged in the liquid. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover the skillet.
5. Cook the pasta for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid has mostly absorbed.
6. Fold in the fresh spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
