Week 3: New Food

Well, it is the last day of week 3 of the new year, so I guess there's no time like now to post my next new thing, which just happens to be food this week. After all, I can't fail at this simple resolution so early on in the year! So here is my "new" for this week, and I promise to be more on top of it next week :)

The New:
This week, I went for a new, relatively healthy recipe called Italian Wonderpot. I'm almost positive I found this recipe on Pinterest, but I can't seem to find the link to share with you guys. Just know, this work of deliciousness was not my own idea! (Although I did make a few changes from the original recipe

Okay so you will need:

• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 Tbs. olive oil
• 12 oz. pasta 
• 8 oz. frozen chopped spinach
• 28 oz. diced tomatoes (2 cans)
• 1 med. onion, chopped 
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 Tbs. basil
• 1/2 Tbs. oregano
• Feta cheese (optional)

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to large pot. Make sure all ingredients are submerged into the liquid.
2. Cover and heat to a rolling boil. Remove lid and let simmer for 10 to 15, or until pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir often.
3. If desired, sprinkle feta cheese on top. Serve and enjoy!

The Evidence:

The Verdict:

This recipe was super easy and super delicious, so basically awesome. If I were to change anything, it would be the amount or the size of chopped spinach. I am not a particularly big fan of the texture of cooked spinach, so I will probably try to get a bag that is more finely chopped next time. Other than that though, I was thrilled at how flavorful it was and how much it made! Definitely a welcomed change from the staple of spaghetti and meatballs :)
