A delightful dish combining hearty ingredients to create a meal bursting with flavor and nutrients, perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of cooked pasta (any shape you prefer)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (mix of colors for vibrancy)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, keeping a bit of pasta water for later.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add diced bell peppers and sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and chopped spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes release their juices—about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water. Stir in grated parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Once all the ingredients are well mixed and heated through, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm. Enjoy the burst of flavors!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding a bit of water or olive oil to keep it moist. Feel free to swap vegetables and try different cheeses.
