Ingredients
Scale
12 oz pasta (penne, fusilli, or spaghetti)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
3 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes with juice, vegetable broth, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Add the uncooked pasta and stir to submerge it in the liquid.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked and most liquid is absorbed.
Stir in fresh spinach and cook for 1–2 more minutes until wilted.
Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese if using.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta if desired.
For added protein, stir in cooked chickpeas or grilled chicken.
Adjust broth amount for preferred consistency—less for thicker, more for soupier pasta.
