Drunken Tomato Spinach Pasta

I’ve made this recipe for friends and family multiple times, and its always a hit! It’s super simple and full of flavor. I tend to eyeball most of the ingredients so I will do my best to be accurate in the measurements below, but I may end up having to tweak it later on. I added oven-baked chicken to this dish for extra protein, but Italian sausage would also be delicious! This makes about 3 servings.

ingredients:

1 package orecchiette noodles

1 container grape tomatoes

2 big handfuls of baby spinach

3 garlic cloves

salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 cup white cooking wine

2 teaspoons oregano

2 teaspoons italian seasoning

fresh basil and parsley for serving

parmesan cheese

Instructions:

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the garlic and let simmer for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add in half of the grape tomatoes, oregano, and italian seasoning. Slowly add in half of the white cooking wine and simmer on medium-low until heated through. Add in cooked orecchiette noodles and the other half of the white cooking wine. Add in the fresh basil and parsley to taste, as well as the spinach. Combine and add in parmesan to taste. Top with your choice of protein and additional parsley, basil, and parmesan.
