One Pot Pasta: Kale, Broccoli and Roasted Peppers Spaghetti

If you been following me for some time now, you know I’m all about keeping things convenient. So when it comes to cooking if I can cut some corners, I’ll take it. Whether that means buying pre-diced vegetable, frozen minced garlic or even frozen rice. If the ingredients are 1 to two ingredients, I’m buying it!  So this past week when I had a craving for spaghetti, I decided to try out the whole one-pot pasta trend. I must say it really felt like I added everything but the kitchen sink in the pot, but it was actually my best spaghetti yet. The secret to getting it to be the best flavorful pasta ever is to sautée the onions, garlic, and peppers in the oil before you add the other ingredients.  It’s an extra step compared to other recipes that basically tell you to dump everything in but it’s well worth it.

Check out the recipe below:
