With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday’s, everyone is looking for an easy way to get dinner on the table. The added “things to do for Christmas” can make meal planning a lower priority. Enter the wonderful solution of the easy one pot pasta. This is a dish that could change your life.
This dish is all made in one pot, which means less clean up. It also includes pantry items that you can have on hand. I am a Canbassador for Cans Get You Cooking and this is a perfect “Cantry” recipe. I love to keep a well stocked “Cantry” to make recipes. I like to keep canned soups, tomatoes, beans, fruit, and vegetables on hand. It makes it so easy as a busy mom to get dinner on the table and this one is a cinch!
You will ned some canned chicken broth, canned tomatoes, and dry linguine pasta for this recipe. Only fresh item used is spinach and garlic. Then there are some dried spices to add flavor. Dinner couldn’t be easier and it is delicious!
My whole family loved this spinach and all, which is a feat to achieve. Only complaint came from my hubby, it was too spicy for him (due to the red pepper flakes – he has serve acid reflux). Me and my oldest son loved the little spice, but next time I will just leave it out to make the hubby happy and not in pain. My son even asked if he could have the leftovers.
