One-Pot Pasta with Spinach and Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 oz (400g) tomatoes, diced
- 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon oregano, roughly chopped
- 8 oz (230g) spaghetti
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 5 oz(140g) baby spinach
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat oil in a wide skillet, pan, or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes or until they start to brown. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, oregano, and spaghetti. Use a spatula to press the spaghetti down to submerge it in the liquid. If your skillet, pan, or Dutch oven is not wide enough, you may need to break the spaghetti in half before cooking.
- Cover with the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 8 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. If the pasta is not cooked after 8 minutes, add a little more chicken broth, cover the lid, and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Uncover the lid and add salt. Stir in the spinach, cooking until the leaves wilt. Turn off the heat and top the pasta with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Can’t wait to cook this! Simple
Awesome thanks!
This is the second time I’ve made this recipe and both times my spaghetti is not done @ 8 minutes and I add more chicken broth and cook for an additional 2 minutes and it’s still not done. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Kimberly, I am really not sure. Are you using the recommended amount of spaghetti and chicken broth? Do remember to submerge the spaghetti cooks through. Also, remember to lower the heat and cover the pan. You can always add even more chicken broth and cook it a little longer until you get to the texture that you’d like. My recipe cooks the spaghetti till it’s al dente.
I’m a little confused. In the recipes calls for diced tomatoes… But in your notes you said you use roma tomatoes. I really want to try this one.
Hi Lee, the recipe does call for diced tomatoes. I used diced Roma tomatoes, as they are commonly available. You may use other types of tomatoes which you can find in your grocery store.
We loved it!

I’m going to add grilled chicken to the recipe. When should I put it in?
You cook the chicken separately and add on top of the pasta.
