"I love this pasta dish, as pistachios are my favorite nut. I help my mom with all of the toppings, and we toss it together just before dinner. Everyone we have ever served it to has raved about how tasty and simple the recipe is."

Tagged this recipe more for my other half than anything else, what with the mushrooms & spinach in it, 2 ingredients I'm not too fond of, especially if they're cooked! So, I sauteed the mushrooms just until they started to soften, & was happy that the spinach was raw! Made for a very nice tasting pasta dish that we both thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement recipe tag]

This is SOOOO delicious! Made it the first time for a vegetarian gathering and everyone loved it! It can be a side dish but we like it so much we eat just this and a salad. I have also made it with frozen spinach which works when you're in a hurry also. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!!
