Discard the grease and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook and stir the carrots, artichoke hearts, and green beans until they begin to soften, then remove them from the pan and set aside. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet and stir in the onion. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the onion is softened, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until the tomato-onion mixture is nearly a paste, 15 to 20 minutes.

Spread the onion mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet and sprinkle the broken spaghetti pieces evenly on top. Pour in enough saffron broth to cover the noodles, then arrange the pancetta and cooked vegetables over them. Add more saffron broth as needed to cover the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the noodles are tender, about 15 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
