Instructions
Creating One-Pot Pasta Primavera is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for success:
1. Heat Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
3. Add Vegetables: Introduce the bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli. Cook for 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.
4. Add Pasta and Broth: Pour in the pasta and vegetable broth. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
5. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
6. Cook Until Tender: Let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta is al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
7. Stir in Spinach: In the last minute or so of cooking, add the spinach, allowing it to wilt before serving.
Once everything is cooked to perfection, it’s time to serve.
