Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 300 g pasta any type
  • 250 g cherry tomatoes halved
  • 100 g spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 750 ml vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Equipment

  • large pot
  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine all ingredients except Parmesan cheese in a large pot or Dutch oven.
Cooking
  1. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent pasta from sticking.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until pasta is al dente and most liquid has been absorbed.
Finishing
  1. Stir well, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately, garnished with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding fresh basil or a pinch of red pepper flakes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though the pasta may soften a bit.
