Method
- Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté for about 3 minutes, until the onion begins to brown.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices, chicken stock, and oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the spaghetti or linguine, pressing down to submerge in the liquid. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 7 minutes, until the pasta is almost tender.
- Uncover and stir in the salt. Add the spinach in batches, stirring until it wilts completely.
- Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan and serve.
💡 Tips
- For extra flavor, use a good-quality chicken stock or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- If the pasta seems dry while cooking, add a splash of water or extra stock.
- You can substitute baby spinach for regular spinach; just add it at the end.
