Tomato Spinach Pasta is a one-pot wonder. Yes, it's hearty, but the diced tomatoes, sautéed onions, and fresh spinach also bring a burst of vitamins and color to your table—all that in about 30 minutes, with one pot to wash.
Chop ½ medium yellow onion and mince 3 garlic cloves.
Sauté onion and garlic in a large soup pot for one minute in 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Add 12 ounces rotini or fusilli pasta, 28 ounces diced tomatoes, 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat if necessary to prevent sticking.
Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer and cook, covered, about 10 minutes or until pasta is slightly al dente, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Stir in 6 ounces fresh baby spinach. Cover and let stand 10 minutes or until spinach is wilted.
Stir just before serving. Serve garnished with with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
