Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 fresh tomatoes diced
- 8 to 10 ounces fresh baby spinach
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup cubed white cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups elbow macaroni
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk dairy free nut milk is also okay to use
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the aromatics. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. (Use a pan with a lid) Add onions and salt; cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Stir in garlic and continue to cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Add tomatoes, spinach, cheeses, macaroni, vegetable broth, milk, and seasonings. Mix to combine and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Simmer. Lower heat to a medium-low, cover with lid and continue to cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until pasta is cooked. Stir frequently, about every 3 minutes, to prevent sticking.
- Finish and serve. Remove from heat and give it a good stir. Garnish the macaroni and feta cheese with parsley and serve immediately.
