How to Make One-Pot Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes | Cooking Light
Master a classic with this easy-as-pie one-pot pasta. You’ll love how simple the cleanup is, but love even more how satisfying each bite of this delicious dish is.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (14.5-ounce) can unsalted petite diced tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 cups unsalted chicken stock (such as Swanson)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
8 ounces whole-grain spaghetti or linguine (such as Barilla)
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 ounce fresh spinach
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/4 cup)
Preparation
1. Heat a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add oil; swirl to coat.
2. Add onion and garlic to pan; sauté 3 minutes or until onion starts to brown.
3. Add tomatoes, stock, oregano, and pasta, in that order. Bring to a boil.
4. Stir to submerge noodles in liquid.
5. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 7 minutes or until pasta is almost done.
6. Uncover; stir in salt.
7. Add spinach in batches, stirring until spinach wilts. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes.
8. Sprinkle with cheese.
Riff: Use fresh grape tomatoes instead, and add fresh herbs.
Riff: Swap out spaghetti for any short pasta shape, such as elbow macaroni, rotini, or shells.
Riff: Try adding chopped skinless, boneless chicken thighs, ground beef, or ground turkey for a heartier dish.

Looks so delicious 🤤🤤👌👌😋
This is amazing. I had a few vegetables that I needed to use and added them to this dish. Zucchini, roasted Anaheim pepper, bell peppers in addition to the spinach I added some cilantro too. I was looking for a recipe that was quick and easy. This definitely was a winner. Very flavorful. I did not cook the garlic with the onions as I was afraid the garlic would burn instead added it and all of the seasonings after sauteeing veggies. I used chicken stock and linguine noodles. Next time I may try fresh cherry tomatoes instead of canned diced.
Failed when I tried to add the pasta, because the water ( I replaced it with the chicken stock) has to be boiling
I would recommend smaller type of pasta to fit in the pot if you have small pot
Looks amazing
Yummy❤️keep vlogging
Trying it for tonight thanks
Wanna try yum
Omg it’s so easy
Delicious
This was delicious 😋
Yum
More one pot meal videos, please! (Especially ones that can easily be vegetarian)
Awesome recipe! I made it but used shells pasta (1 LB). I had to add a little bit more water.
Seriously, there's no thing such as one pot pasta, you need a pan to fry and a pot to boil the water where you'll put the pasta. This is a basic rule, seriously, just stop.
I absolutely LOVE this dish. I just had it tonight for the first time. My son made it for me at my request for Mother's Day 2016. It was a major hit…I know we'll be using this dish again and again. My son had made spaghetti with zucchini and squash in it, and that was the first time I'd had spaghetti with vegetables in it; so when I saw this with spinach and tomatoes in it (both of whom I absolutely love), I knew I wanted this for Mother's Day dinner. Yummy…we topped it off with garlic bread and a cherry cobbler for dessert. Man oh man thanks!
i add asparagus and zuccini omg delicious
Great place to learn how to make it yourself much much cheaper. Just google for 'inplix' website:)
If you're trying to save energy bills you could in a separate pan just boil the pasta for 3 minutes on high then switch off the heat and put the lid on. Cook the sauce by this time the pasta should be cooked through (usually cooks through off the heat in 10mins). Drain the pasta and add to the sauce with some of the starch water but all of the starch is a bit much. urgh sorry
No! How can you eat all the starch from the pasta? It must be drained
Love this recipe. I'm vegetarian so I replaced the chicken stock with vegetarian stock. I also added mushrooms and red pepper flakes for some spice. Delicious.
How easy! I was surprised you can cook the pasta without having to drain out any extra liquid. I will be sure to try this recipe!
