You'll be ready to toss out all those extra pans after trying this one-pot pasta! I tossed this recipe together with what I had on hand, hoped for the best and was rewarded with a delicious dinner! I’m not a fan of heavily sauced pasta dishes, especially now that we finally have some nice weather in Saskatoon, so this hit the spot perfectly! A light, fresh pasta dish that doesn’t leave you feeling like you just ate a brick!

Ingredients

parmesan cheese
pepper
salt
1 1/2 cups water (or broth)
100 g uncooked spaghetti
1 tomato (chopped)
2 bunches spinach
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 slice bacon
1 red onion
1 pound ground turkey

Method

01

Mix ground turkey, red onion, bacon and garlic to shape 5 turkey meatballs.
02

In a pan on medium heat, add olive oil. Once the pan is heated, add meatballs, cooking about 5 minutes allowing them to brown.
03

Add chopped tomatoes and spinach, cooking for about 2 minutes. Add in pasta and water (or broth if you wish).
04

Once water reaches a boil, turn heat to low and simmer with the lid on for about 20 minutes or until water reduces to form a light sauce. You could also add a splash of cream, or sour cream to the dish if you prefer a creamier sauce!
05

Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with plenty of parmesan!
