This is quite literally the easiest recipe ever. You basically dump everything into a dutch oven (or a stockpot with a tight lid) and light a fire under it. Spinach is a hidden ingredient in this recipe to get some greens into picky toddlers’ stomachs!
In a large dutch oven or stockpot, add the pasta, tomatoes, chicken broth, sliced onion, sliced garlic, basil, seasonings, and olive oil, and cover with the lid. Bring to a boil (about 10-15 minutes) and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking with the lid still on until the pasta is al-dente (about 10-15 minutes, depending on type of pasta used).
Once cooked through, remove the pot from heat and stir in your spinach, folding it gently into the pasta until well combined. Recover the pot with the lid and allow it sit for an additional 10 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the spinach has wilted.
Stir and serve with some Parmigiano Reggiano and enjoy!
