One Of My Favoite Go-To Meals

We all have go-to foods when we're busy or just not in the mood to be very creative with our cooking or eating.  I have several go-to dishes for one bowl eating and they're usually very simple.  This recipe takes a total of about 30 min., it's filling, and offers many nutritional values.  Sometimes I add a little cooked zucchini or drained and chopped artichoke hearts or bell peppers (fresh or roasted).  Be sure to sprinkle some olive oil over the top for added healthy oil.

This is a Weight Watchers recipe that I share because it's healthy, delicious, and is 7 PPV.

Penne With Tomatoes and Spinach  (serves 4)

Ingredients

	8 oz uncooked penne
	1 tsp table salt, for cooking pasta
	1/4 cup(s) canned chicken broth, (see note)

	1/4 tsp dried oregano

	1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
	1 cup(s) grape tomatoes, halved

Instructions

• Cook penne in boiling salted water according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid before draining pasta.
  
  
• Meanwhile, heat broth in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add spinach, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
