"The Best" One Pot Speghetti in 10 Minutes

This recipe is proof that a delicious, nutritious meal does not have to take a lot of time or preparation. Even children like it, especially because you can "hide" the vegetables in the sauce.

Shopping list:
Bella Terra ™ brand organic, whole wheat, Capellini Angel Hair Pasta
Muir Glen® brand Organic pasta sauce – any flavor
Black Olives
Artichoke Hearts
Pine nuts
Optional: sautéed skinless boneless chicken breast or thigh, cooked in canola oil and tarragon in a skillet for 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat.

Bring water to boil and cook pasta 4 minutes. Drain. Put pasta back into the same pot and add the rest of the ingredients. 1 jar of pasta feeds at least 4 people. Heat it all up in that one pot for easy clean-up.

If you cooked chicken, cut it into bite-sized pieces and add to the top of the pasta while you're serving it. Top it with fresh mozzarella or parmesan cheese.

Other options: these can either be boiled along with the spaghetti or sautéed in a separate pan:
Fresh asparagus
Cubed eggplant
Whole grape tomatoes

The pine nuts are full of protein, so especially make sure you use them if you don't cook the chicken.

Enjoy!
