I can honestly say that I've never met anyone who has admitted that they LOVE washing dishes. Let's face it, it's not a very glamorous job. It's certainly not my favorite kitchen task. Most of the time, I'm a master and creating dirty dishes. Seriously - if there was an award for producing the greatest amount of dirty dishes in one meal - I would get it. Good thing I have a super helpful hubby who jumps in to wash dinner dishes every night. Even though I have a dishwasher that never complains, I have to give him a break some nights. This one pot pasta dinner is a GREAT way to save on dirty dishes. At the end of this meal, I had 1 pot, 1 cutting board and a knife. That was it! (I think that may be some sort of record for me.) I love this dinner - not JUST because it didn't require a ton of dishes to wash but because it was quick and easy to put together and it tasted delicious too. One Pot Spaghetti 1 teaspoon olive oil 1/2 cup chopped onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 14.5 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes 3/4 cup chicken stock 1/4 teaspoon oregano 4 ounces spaghetti, broken in half 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 ounces fresh spinach 1/2 ounce grated parmesan ![]() Heat oil in skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook until browned. ![]() Add tomatoes, oregano and stock. Bring to a boil. Add noodles, cover pot and reduce to simmer for 8 minutes. Uncover and add salt and spinach to pot. Replace cover and cook another 3 minutes. I like my spinach a little firm and not too wilted so I uncovered my pot a little early. I also thought that my spaghetti would stick together but surprisingly, it separated beautifully with a simple stir. Sprinkle with a little parmesan and voila - dinner in one pot. A perfect weeknight meal for anyone who hates to wash dishes as much as I do. Ciao!
