Creamy Tomato Spinach Pasta
ingredients
Instructions
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup yellow onions, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 can
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 1 pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 oz. cream cheese, softened, equal to 1/4 cup.
- 3/4 cup fresh, frozen spinach can also be used, see notes
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- 8 oz. spaghetti or penne
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes (with the juice), as well as the oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, chicken broth and tomato paste. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to a minimum. Cut the cream cheese into small squares and add it to the sauce.
- Whisk half the Parmesan cheese.
- Simmer the sauce, uncovered, over low heat while you prepare the pasta according to the directions on the package. Keep an eye on the sauce, stir it occasionally and cover it if it reaches the desired thickness level.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and incorporate it into the sauce with the spinach.
- Turn off the heat once the pasta and the sauce are well combined and the spinach is wilted.
- Garnish with the rest of the parmesan and serve!
