Light & colorful, one-pot dish made with spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, red bell pepper, onions, garlic and tomatoes - all in 20 mins approx.

When you signed up at The Garden Recipe - it was not just for easy, one-pot dishes but also for health and this recipe delivers just that and more!

It is loaded with spinach and other nutrient dense veggies along with cancer-fighting mushrooms!

Also, we DON'T cook the spinach - to keep its nutrients, we just add at the end and let the natural warmth wilt it - a BIG healthy hack you can only learn here.

No need for any unhealthy fatty stuff like cream/dairy/cheese...yuck! The juices of the vegetables are enough to make this dish flavorful and creamy enough.

I added Melt organic coconut/plant based butter at the end - it is my favorite and great for weight management AND did I mention that coconut butter is also anti-inflammatory?

But if you don't have it right now, you can skip that too - trust me, this recipe is super delicious while being light at the same time as well.

Servings -

To reduce the quantity, all you have to do is reduce the pasta quantity accordingly. I would suggest keeping the veggies the same quantity.

To increase more (if making for guests, etc.) - Add more pasta and add on more veggies and onions of your choice. Simple!

Composting - Also, as always, keep composting - that is your organic free fertilizer - so all your vegetable/onion ends - yup, put it in a bin outside or just throw under the soil! Plants and our Earth will thank you plus let's all stop using plastic for such ridiculous reasons. Compost! Compost! Compost! from now on.
