Description

This recipe can easily be made vegetarian. Opt for low-sodium “no-chicken” broth, which provides a hearty flavor without the meat. You can find this type of broth in the natural foods section of most grocery stores. Alternatively, you can use your preferred low-sodium vegetable broth or even make your own. For a vegan twist, skip the Parmesan cheese and use nutritional yeast instead.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces whole-wheat rotini
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups low-sodium “no-chicken” broth or chicken broth
  • 1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 6 cups baby kale or baby spinach
  • ½ cup slivered basil
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

Step 1:

  • In a large pot, combine pasta, water, broth, tomatoes, olive oil, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and crushed red pepper.
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 2:

  • Once boiling, uncover and reduce the heat to medium-high.
  • Cook while stirring frequently for about 10 minutes.

Step 3:

  • Add in the kale and continue cooking, stirring often until most of the liquid has been absorbed, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.
  • If using spinach, add it in after about 10 minutes to cook for the remaining 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4:

  • Stir in the basil. If desired, garnish with Parmesan cheese.

Equipment

Notes

  • Select ripe tomatoes for rich flavor; pair with fresh basil for a fragrant herbaceous touch.
  • Saute garlic in olive oil until fragrant; toss with tomatoes and basil for a vibrant sauce.
  • Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for added depth of flavor.
