How to make One-Pot Spaghetti with Mushrooms and Spinach
Cooking Instructions
Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
Add onion and mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender and the liquid from the mushrooms has been mostly cooked off.
Add garlic and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) and sauté for another 30 seconds.
Increase heat to high then add canned tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.
Add spaghetti noodles and stir until they wilt and fit in the pot. Cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 5 minutes. Ensure the liquid remains at a low boil.
Remove lid and add fresh spinach, a couple of handfuls at a time, stirring to mix and wilt the spinach.
Remove from heat and let spaghetti sit, covered, for a few minutes.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, taste, and adjust seasonings.
Serve with fresh basil or parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
