3 garlic cloves finely sliced

A small handful of basil leaves roughly chopped

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

1/2 tsp salt

How to make One-Pan Pasta

Step 1: Place the linguine in a large deep pan along with cherry tomatoes, spinach, sliced onions, garlic, and basil. On top, drizzle the olive oil, then season with crushed red pepper and salt.

Step 2: Into the pan, pour 4 cups of boiling water or vegetable/chicken stock. Bring to a boil and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes over medium heat, occasionally stirring with tongs until all liquid has evaporated.

Step 3: Turn the heat off, then if desired, stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve warm.

NOTES:

In an airtight container, place any leftovers and store them in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.

I suggest following the recipes as is for the best results. If needed, here are some substitutes that will work great, too:

Use your preferred gluten-free pasta to make this dish gluten-free.

Omit the Parmesan cheese to make this vegan and simply add in nutritional yeast or a vegan Parmesan substitute.

Feel free to add more milk instead of more water to make the sauce creamier.

For the veggies, use whatever you like.
