Meatless Bowtie Pasta With Mushrooms & Feta Cheese

Submitted by Desert Mermaid

"Great meatless meal or cut up and saute a chicken breast or two to switch it up. I created this recipe myself tonight. Sounded like a good blend so decided to try it. Putting it down to save , but thought I would share as well. I served this with garlic bread . It would be good with a green salad as well. I like to season with Mrs. Dash low sodium seasoning as we are trying to watch our sodium. I also use Smart balance Buttery Spread in place of the butter. Amounts are just estimates. You can add more or less of what you like for your own taste."

This was okay would've been excellent without the tomatoes but tried it as stated. Thanks for an easy and meatless meal that made a lot.

Delicious!!! This has instantly become my family's new favorite meal, I have made four times in the past month. Even my meat loving husband and picky four year old are happy to hear we are having it for dinner. Thanks for sharing Desert Mermaid!!!
