Italian Wonderful Pot!
Have you heard about the Wonder Pot? Can you say WONDERFUL? This is a modern version of the one pot meal! Perfect for your next Meatless Monday or any meal that you need to throw together in under 30 mins with minimal ingredients and full of flavor with the addition of baby bella mushrooms adds a meatiness to the dish and even the hard core meat eaters will not miss or even notice that there isn’t any meat!!
Here’s a close up look at the ingredients. Grab a box of pasta. Bucatini, Lingunini, or Spaghetti all work well. DO NOT use thin spaghetti or angel hair as it will cook too fast and become mushy! A box of chicken broth, 28 oz of diced tomatoes with Italian spices, onion, baby bellas, fresh spinach, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Switch it up however you like!
