How To Make pasta with sundried tomatoes, spinach & mushrooms

Step 1Cook pasta to al dente stage. Drain well and return to covered pot (add a touch of olive oil if preferred)

Step 3Add broth and tomatoes to the skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook approx. 2-3 minutes or until tomatoes are rehydrated. Add the spinach and cook uncovered, stirring often until spinach is wilted.
-
Step 4Add the cooked pasta, olives, walnuts and toss well to mix. Add additional broth if needed or pasta water.
-
Step 5Remove pasta from heat and toss in the parmesan cheese. Serve with chopped parsley to garnish.
