How To Make pasta with sundried tomatoes, spinach & mushrooms

  • Step 1
    Cook pasta to al dente stage. Drain well and return to covered pot (add a touch of olive oil if preferred)
  • Step 2
    In a large nonstick skillet, add olive oil and saute garlic, mushrooms, Italian seasoning and black pepper - cook over medium-high heat. Cook until mushrooms have released their juices and are golden brown. Add a few tsp. of broth if necessary to keep from drying out.
  • Step 3
    Add 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 4
    Add the cooked pasta, olives, walnuts and toss well to mix. Add additional broth if needed or pasta water.
  • Step 5
    Remove pasta from heat and toss in the parmesan cheese. Serve with chopped parsley to garnish.
