This is the sort of casual food recipe that embodies simplicity without skimping on great flavours. The fettuccini can be added dry, along with all the other ingredients. After 10 minutes of cooking everything together it's all done, all at once, with only a single pot to clean up!
Have this recipe up your sleeve for those times when you only have 20 minutes to get a meal on the table. The liquid reduces into a creamy sauce, the noodles absorb the great flavours they're simmering in and the result is colourful and hearty.
Ingredients:
12 ounces of fettuccini
12 ounces of cherry tomatoes
1 red onion
6 cloves garlic
1/2- 3/4 tsp. red-pepper flakes
2 sprigs basil
1 cup fresh spinach
2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsps. kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
