LET’S MAKE IT
Warm the oil in a wide pot over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic for about 30 seconds, then add the tomatoes, broth, dried basil, and pasta.
Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a steady simmer and cook uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Begin checking at the pasta packet’s suggested time. Add a little hot water if the pot becomes dry before the pasta is tender. Cooking time depends on pasta shape.
When the pasta is cooked and the sauce coats it, stir in the spinach until wilted. Turn off the heat and add cheese. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
A wide pot and regular stirring help the pasta cook evenly. Keep a little hot water ready.
Use a vegetarian hard cheese if desired. Different pasta shapes absorb different amounts of liquid.
