TL;DR
Pasta, sauce and vegetables cook together in one pot. Less cleanup, and the starch makes the sauce creamy on its own.
So geht’s
- Add 250 g of pasta, 500 to 600 ml of water or broth, 1 to 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 chopped garlic cloves, halved cherry tomatoes and a little salt to a large pot.
- Bring it to a boil and stir a few times during the first 2 minutes so nothing sticks together.
- Let it simmer uncovered over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until most of the liquid is gone.
- At the end, stir in a handful of spinach, some grated Parmesan and black pepper.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a small splash of water. If it is too thin, let it simmer for 1 more minute.
Why this helps
The pasta starch stays in the pot and thickens the sauce for you. That means fewer dishes and more flavor.
