Creating One-Pot Pasta Recipes is straightforward and quick! Follow these simple steps to enjoy a comforting bowl of deliciousness:

1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, add a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, followed by the can of diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir to combine.
3. Incorporate Pasta: Add the pasta to the pot. Make sure it is submerged in the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Add Vegetables: Once boiling, stir in the broccoli florets, followed by the spinach. Season with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
5. Cook the Pasta: Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally.
6. Finish with Cheese: Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is melted and well incorporated.
