Italian One Pot Wonder

Hi All! I hope you have had a good week, I am home from vacation and ready to cook some more. I wanted to share a great one pot meal I had right before vacation that I found on pinterest. I changed it slowly from the original recipe on Budget Bytes to be a little more weight watcher friendly but really this recipe is simple, easy and beyond tasty!



Italian One Pot Wonder: Serves 4-6

12oz Pasta
3C Chicken or Veggie Stock - Fat Free
10oz Frozen Spinach
8oz Tomato Sauce
1 Large Onion - Thinly Sliced
2 Garlic Cloves - Thinly Sliced
2tsp Dried Basil
2tsp Dried Oregano
1 Bay Leaf
1 Can Diced Tomatoes - 15 oz - do not drain
4oz Crumbled Feta Cheese

In a large sauce pot put in everything but the Feta Cheese. Cover & bring it up to a boil stirring occasionally while it is getting ready to boil - you want to break up the spinach which is essentially a huge ice cube in the pot. Once the pot is boiling remove the lid and stir occasionally, you will need to stir more often as the liquid evaporates and incorporates into the pasta. That is right....all this liquid, well the mass majority of it, will be absorbed into the pasta, no draining required! Okay so within 10-15 minutes it will be time to eat, stir until your pasta is done and has absorbed the liquid, remove from the heat, scoop into bowls, top with the crumbled feta, serve and enjoy!
