spaghetti florentine

This is one of my “aak! It’s 5:30! What am I going to make for dinner!?!” recipes.

FAST and EASY! And because I chop onions in bulk with my Chop Wizard and then freeze them in zip lock bags, it doesn’t require any fresh ingredients. (Feel free to use fresh ingredients if you want.) I’ve included a print friendly version in pdf at the end of the post.

Ingredients Needed:

vegetable cooking spray
1 medium onion, chopped (about ½ cup)
3 cloves garlic, minced (I use minced garlic sold in a jar)
1 tsp italian seasoning, crushed
1 can (campbell’s) cream of celery soup
1/8 tsp pepper
1 package frozen chopped spinach (about 10 oz)
1 cup plain yogurt
1 medium tomato (or one can diced tomatoes, drained)
1 box of hot cooked spaghetti (about 4 cups cooked or 8 oz dry)
parmesan cheese
____________________

spray medium saucepan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat 1 minute.

Add onion, garlic and italian seasoning and cook until tender, stirring often.

add soup, pepper and spinach. Heat to a boil. reduce heat to low. cover and cook 10 minutes or until spinach is tender, breaking apart spinach with fork and stirring occasionally.

add yogurt and tomato and heat through.

toss with spaghetti.

sprinkle with cheese.

If desired, garnish with fresh basil.
