Mushroom, Tomato, and Spinach Bowties

Submitted by Brianna.

"A great vegetarian dish, could add chicken though and it would taste pretty good."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 cups dry farfalle pasta
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 -3 garlic cloves (or a dash of garlic powder)
• 1⁄4 cup onion, chopped (or a dash of onion powder)
• olive oil (for skillet)
• 2 mushrooms, chopped
• 1 roma tomato, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup torn Baby Spinach
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (I just use a packet from the local pizza hut)
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions.
2. While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a pan and saute garlic and onions until golden brown (If using powders add with tomato).
3. Once garlic and onions are golden brown, pour in olive oil (enough to cook with) and add chopped mushrooms and saute until browned.
4. Toss in the tomato (and garlic and onion powders if in a hurry) along with the red pepper flakes and cook until properly done, stirring occasionally.
5. Add torn baby spinach and Parmesan cheese and toss until evenly distributed and spinach is wilted. Once pasta is cooked, drain and toss in with veggie mix.
6. Stir until everything is sufficiently mixed up. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan for sprinkling.
