One Pan Pasta Dinner: Easy and Delicious Meal

Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
2. Stir in the minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and sliced zucchini, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add the uncooked spaghetti to the pan, along with the diced tomatoes (with their juice), vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir everything together until well combined.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted.
6. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta, mixing until melted and creamy.
7. Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
