Ingredients
-
8 ounces whole-wheat rotini
-
1 cup water
-
2 cups low-sodium "no-chicken" broth or chicken broth
-
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
-
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
-
6 cups baby kale or baby spinach
-
½ cup slivered basil
-
Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Method
-
Combine pasta, water, broth, tomatoes, oil, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and crushed red pepper in a large pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover, reduce heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Stir in kale and cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid has been absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes more. (If using spinach, add it after about 10 minutes so it cooks in the remaining 2 to 3 minutes.) Stir in basil. Garnish with Parmesan, if desired.
