One Pot Tomato Basil Pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach is an easy, flavor packed pasta dish that comes together in 20 minutes all in one dish.

This One Pot Tomato Basil Pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach is a delicious meatless meal that's ready in under 30 minutes.

I have a mild obsession with one pot pasta meals these days. It is just so satisfying to cook everything in one dish and have an amazing dinner in under 30 minutes. And this creamy One Pot Tomato Basil Pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach definitely hits the spot. It's full of tomato flavor and since the pasta cooks directly in the sauce, it's get thick and creamy from the starch in the pasta. Then paired with the earthy mushrooms and spinach - delish. I usually top mine with some kind of cheese, even cottage cheese is delicious, and sometimes I throw in some chicken, shrimp, or ground turkey sausage for protein.

Directions

Add the olive oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add the cherry tomatoes. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until the tomatoes burst and release their juices.
Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the pasta, mushrooms, vegetable broth, and tomato paste. Bring to a boil.
Continue to cook the pasta, stirring often, until the sauce has reduced and is thick and almost evaporated. This should take between 12-14 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach and basil until spinach wilts.
