I love Spaghetti, it’s one of my favorite comfort foods!
So, the other night I couldn't sleep and I turned the TV on in the middle of the night and half absorbed this recipe. I did what I remembered (when we were low on groceries) and my hubby and I both loved it.
Serving Size: 2 Servings
Ingredients:
Fresh or dried rosemary
Thyme if you have it- fresh or dried
Scallions or spring onions if you have them ( you can regrow these in your window sill)
2-4 cloves of garlic depending on taste
Spaghetti Pasta- I used red lentil whole foods brand (way better than I wan anticipating!)
2 cans of roasted stewed tomatoes (I used garlic)
Fresh or frozen spinach
Salt and Pepper
Directions:
Boil water (we use a kettle to save time) add to a pot with some salt
Add butter or oil (preferably avocado, coconut, or butter) to a pan at medium heat. Add Rosemary (and thyme) if you have it, saute for 3 minutes, add garlic
Add 2 cans of stewed tomatoes to the pan. I use the flame-broiled garlic kind. I added my scallions then (if you have them).
Sautee on low for a while*- 30 mins at least
Add pasta of your choice to boiling water- the red lentil kind I used cooked in 9.5 minutes. I like it al-dente
When the pasta was ready I drained it but did not rinse it and added it to the sauce. I then added 2 handfuls of fresh spinach and covered it to simmer (you can add frozen instead if you don't have fresh).
Season with salt (I used smoke salt) and pepper
Turned out awesome!
It was my first time making red sauce "from scratch" literally sautéing the rosemary at first made my house smell like a dream and hubby was in love before he tasted anything.
SUPER EASY! I'd do it again and maybe add some sauteed mushrooms and onions (and meat- if you aren't vegan or vegetarian) if you had more time. This is truly a good base!
