Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Perfect as a diet meal and quick to prepare

Cook the whole-wheat pasta al dente in plenty of salted water according to the package instructions. Remove it from the water a little earlier if you like, so it won’t get too soft later. In the meantime, clean or peel the bell pepper, tomatoes, and garlic. Chop them finely and place them in a pot with the spinach. Add a good splash of water, or vegetable stock if you like (this will reduce the need for seasoning later), and simmer over high heat. Add the pasta (even if the spinach is still frozen—it will cook thoroughly in the added water). Once the pasta is al dente and the spinach has thawed, season as desired (I use the spices and herbs listed, but you can vary them if you like). Arrange everything on a plate and serve garnished with some basil.
