One-Pan Pasta

This recipe is soo good and super easy to make. I literally make this almost once a week. My family loves it and it’s very filling. I found this recipe on the Martha Stewart website.

With my schedule being super busy right now as many of us are I’m always looking for healthy recipes that are quick and easy. I modified the recipe slightly by adding fresh spinach which was such a great idea. Another great dinner idea I tried was adding ground turkey meat as a side topping, which was just delicious. Add some garlic bread and carrots, and dinner is complete. This dish is also great for lunch!

These are your yummy healthy ingredients!

- 1 box linguine I have also used Fettuccine and it was delicious.
- 12 ounces cherry Cut in halve. We love tomatoes the more the better .They add beautiful color to any dish!
- 1 onion, thinly sliced For added flavor add half of a red onion if you like.
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced Powder garlic is a tasteful addition. 2 teaspoons.
- 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes I omitted this ingredient because of my kids..lol! But the dish was still amazing!
- 2 sprigs basil, plus torn leaves for garnish I also added a bag of organic fresh spinach which was the best idea. With the onions and garlic the flavor was incredible.
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving Because of the added spinach I used 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper For extra flavor and health benefits I also added Turmeric.
- 4 1/2 cups water Got to have the water.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving Love the Parmesan Cheese!!

Directions- Time to get cooking!

In a large skillet combine 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, sliced garlic and onions, red-pepper flakes, sliced tomatoes, box of pasta, and 41/2 cups of water. Than bring to a boil over high heat. Continue to boil ingredients, using a tong stirring mixture frequently. About 5 minutes into cooking gently add the bag of spinach. Gently toss and stir into mixture. Continue to cook about 4 to 5 minutes frequently turning and mixing ingredients.

2. Next season with salt and pepper and garnish with basil and additional oil. Add Parmesan cheese! As a additional topping you can add the taco ground beef or turkey meat .

This is one of my staple weekly meals it’s so easy and delicious. A tip for making the cooking process even faster is cutting your veggies for the week on Saturday or Sunday.

These are your Delicious Ingredients

Chicken Broth This is a great substitute instead of using white wine.
Salt and Pepper To taste!
Olive Oil This is used to cook your garlic, mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. I prefer to use Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Garlic Powder The more the better. Garlic is very healthy for you.
Butter You can use salted or unsalted. I prefer salted and than I use less salt.
Garlic Cloves Minced garlic is very healthy for you and gives a nutty taste to the cream sauce.
Half and Half Adds a delicious sweetness to the creamy sauce, a great contrast to the garlic.
Flour This will thicken the sauce.
Sun dried tomatoes Yes! So yummy, this is why this dish is so delicious. The flavors just play so well together.
Small Mushrooms The more the healthier. Mushrooms are full of antioxidants that help protect the body from cancer and heart disease.
Fresh Baby Spinach Fresh or frozen is perfect. Thaw frozen spinach before use.
Linguine I always break in half for easier cooking and eating.
Grated Parmesan Cheese It’s definitely a taste difference if you have the time to cut it yourself.
Boneless Chicken Breasts The healthiest way to cook your chicken is to bake it in a pan on 350 until brown.
