Instructions
- Grab your Dutch oven or a big soup pot and add pasta, broth, tomatoes & the juice from them, spices, onion, mushrooms, making sure everything is submerged in the broth. You can add more broth or a little water if not. Bring to a boil, cover and turn down to low, simmer for 10 mins, stir once or twice during cooking. Slide it off the heat and allow to rest for 5-10 mins, it will create it's own sauce and thicken and gain flavor as it sits. Stir in spinach just before serving along with cheese if you are using.
Notes
You can make this a heavier meatier meal by adding some cooked Italian Sausage, Meatballs, or roasted shrimp is AMAZING!!
