Ingredients

1 lb mafaldine pasta
1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
0.5 cup basil pesto
2 cup fresh spinach
3 garlic (minced)
0.5 cup heavy cream
24 oz marinara sauce
2 cup vegetable broth (or water)
0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps

1
In a large deep skillet or pot, combine the dry mafaldine pasta, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, marinara sauce, and vegetable broth.
2
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
3
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4
Stir in the basil pesto and heavy cream until well combined and creamy.
5
Add the fresh spinach and stir until just wilted from the residual heat.
6
Top with grated parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

The author emphasizes that this is a true one-pot meal where the pasta is not boiled separately. If the sauce becomes too thick before the pasta is cooked, add a splash more broth or water.
