Description
One-Pot Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti is a must-try dish that combines the rich flavors of garlic and Parmesan cheese in a simple, one-pot meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the spaghetti to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Cook the spaghetti for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the broth has been absorbed.
- Stir in the cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Notes
- For added protein, mix in cooked chicken or shrimp during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Substitute the Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast for a vegan version.
