I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

One Pot Fresh Tomato Spaghettini

Fresh tomato taste is front and center in this one pot beauty!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tbsp tomato paste

4 oz spaghettini

1 1/4 cups beef broth

1/2 cup white wine

1 cup baby spinach, chopped

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp dry minced onion

1/2 tsp salt

10 fresh chopped basil leaves

Warm the olive oil in a large pot to medium low then add the tomatoes. Cover and stir or shake the pot occasionally for 6-8 minutes. Then add garlic 1-2 minutes. Mash the tomatoes gently with the back of a spoon then stir in the tomato paste and seasonings, cooking for 1 minute. Add the uncooked spaghettini then pour in the broth and wine, and after a couple of minutes press the pasta into the liquid. Cover and cook on medium low 7-9 minutes stirring a couple of times to ensure the pasta is not sticking. Add the spinach and fresh chopped basil, stir 1 minute and it's ready to serve. Serves 2
