Ingredients

• 12 oz gluten-free pasta
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 medium, chopped red bell pepper
• 1 medium, chopped zucchini
• 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
• 15 oz can, drained and rinsed cooked white beans
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped fresh basil
• 0.5 cup, grated (optional) parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and zucchini, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and cooked white beans, and stir the mixture well.

Step 6

Add the dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the spinach wilts into the sauce.

Step 8

Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet, and toss everything to coat the pasta evenly.

Step 9

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil.

Step 10

Serve the pasta immediately, topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
