Recipe: Whole wheat pasta with veggies

3/4 cup whole wheat pasta (I use penne or rotini)
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen broccoli
82 g (roughly 3 cups) baby spinach
2 tsp minced garlic (I actually buy the jarred minced garlic packed in water)

Bring broth to a boil and add pasta and garlic. Reduce heat to medium- medium/high. After a few minutes add the broccoli. A few minutes later add the spinach. Stir regularly throughout. The broth will reduce to create a very light sauce. If it starts to get dry, add another 1/4 cup of broth. You want to make sure the pasta is cooked, so if you have to add broth, no biggie.

At the end you will have something absolutely delicious. It is very quick, and easy. There is no wrong way to do it (that's the kind of recipe I like!).
