    Add spaghetti, broth, whipping cream and garlic. Heat just to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to medium; cook 12 to 16 minutes, stirring frequently, until pasta is cooked. Stir in spinach and Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat; let stand 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Stir, stir, stir! One-pots cook quickly, so be sure to stir frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the pan.
  • tip 2
    Can’t take the heat? Leave out the red pepper flakes.
