Recipe | One-pot spelt spaghetti

Lottie Storey September 8, 2017

This dish can step up to any occasion – late-night dinners, impromptu guests, hangovers – you name it. Just pop it all in a pan and in 15 minutes you’ll have a delicious meal

Serves 4

500g dried spelt spaghetti (wheat pasta is also fine here if you prefer)
500g cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, thinly sliced
A large handful of fresh spinach
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
A handful of black olives
2 sprigs of fresh basil
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp dried oregano
1⁄2 tsp chilli flakes
1 litre vegetable stock
A handful of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to serve

1 Place all of the ingredients in a large saucepan and cover with 400ml cold water. Place a lid on it and bring back to the boil.
2 Remove the lid, reduce the heat, simmer and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally until the liquid has reduced to a silky sauce.
3 Serve straight away with lashings of Parmesan cheese.

Recipe from Milly’s Real Food by Nicola Millbank (HarperCollins).

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
