Another Great "One Pot" Italian Dinner

I've had a lot of really positive feedback on the Italian "One Pot" dinner recipe in the recipe blog.  Simple, quick, inexpensive and healthy....as well as vegetarian.  Since it's been so popular, I thought I would offer another variant to it you may enjoy.

INGREDIENTS
12 Ounces Thin Spaghetti
12 Ounces Fresh Cherry Tomatoes
4 1/2 Cups Water
1 Medium White Onion
1 Cup Sliced Fresh Mushrooms
1 Cup Frozen Spinach
4 Cloves Garlic
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon Dried Oregano
1 Tablespoon Dried Basil
Salt to taste
Black Pepper to taste
Parmesan Cheese (Dry Shredded)

PREPARATION
We're going to use a large, deep skillet to prepare this dish.  Add water and spaghetti to the skillet, together with the Oregano, Basil, Salt and Pepper.  After thinly slicing the onion into rings, add them to the skillet.  Cut the Cherry Tomatoes in half and add them, as well.  Finely chop the cloves of Garlic, or if you prefer, use minced garlic and add that to the skillet.  Now, add the thinly sliced Mushrooms to the rest of the ingredients.

Heat the skillet on a burner with Medium High heat, bringing the ingredients to a boil.  Stir occasionally to mix the ingredients and keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.  Make sure you turn and separate the pasta so it doesn't stick together.  At a brisk boil, the water will evaporate, the pasta will become al dente in about 10 minutes.  Remove the skillet from the heat and add the frozen spinach, mixing it into the rest of the ingredients.

Place servings into platters and generously sprinkle with the grated Parmesan Cheese.  A delicious, filling meal ready in a matter of minutes!  Enjoy!
