1 8 ounce package gluten free pasta (corn/quinoa or chickpea/lentil)
02 -
3 cups boiling water
03 -
1 can vegetable broth
04 -
1 can fire roasted tomatoes
05 -
1 can artichoke hearts, drained
06 -
1 cup black olives
07 -
1/2 purple onion, sliced
→ Seasonings
08 -
2 tablespoons fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
09 -
1 teaspoon cumin
10 -
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
→ Garnish
11 -
Parmesan cheese (optional)
12 -
Fresh basil (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Bring 3 cups of water to boil in a large pot. Add pasta, vegetable broth, onions, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, olives, thyme, and cumin.
02 -
Allow the mixture to return to a boil over high heat, stirring the pasta as it begins to cook.
03 -
Maintain a boil but reduce heat slightly as cooking continues. Use tongs to stir occasionally, preventing pasta from sticking together or to the bottom of the pot.
04 -
As the liquid reduces and forms a sauce, check pasta doneness. If pasta needs more cooking time, thin the sauce by adding more hot water, 1/2 cup at a time.
05 -
Once the sauce has reduced, season with salt and pepper to taste.
06 -
When pasta is cooked, quickly transfer to plates to prevent overcooking in the remaining hot broth.
07 -
Top with fresh herbs or parmesan cheese as desired, and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
This one-pot dish combines convenience with Mediterranean flavors, packing nutrients and fiber from canned tomatoes, olives, and artichoke hearts.
02 -
The pasta cooks directly in a flavorful seasoned vegetable broth, creating a sauce as it reduces.
