Instructions:
1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a separate pot, cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down slightly.
6. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Add the cooked pasta and rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
8. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve the Mediterranean vegetable pasta hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Special Tips or Variations:
- Feel free to customize this dish by adding other Mediterranean vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms.
- For an extra protein boost, you can stir in some cooked chickpeas or grilled tofu.
- Make it vegan by omitting the Parmesan cheese or using a plant-based alternative.
