Farfalle with Spinach and Mushrooms

 

Here's a low-calorie, low-fat vegetarian main dish recipe to entice even meat lovers. Bow-tie or farfalle (fahr-FAH-lay) pasta resembles ruffle-edge butterflies. Look for it, packaged dry, by both names.

 

Servings: Makes 4 side-dish servings.

Total: 25 mins

Ingredients

6 ounces bow-tie pasta (farfalle)

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1 medium onion, chopped

1 cup sliced portobello or other fresh mushrooms (such as chanterelles, shiitakes, and/or crimini)

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups thinly sliced fresh spinach

1 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon licorice-flavored liqueur (optional)

2 tablespoons finely shredded Parmesan cheese

 

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well.

2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet melt the butter or margarine over medium heat. Add onion, mushrooms, and garlic; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until mushrooms are nearly tender.

3. Stir in spinach, thyme, and pepper; cook 1 minute or until heated through and spinach is slightly wilted.

4. Stir in cooked pasta and, if desired, liqueur; toss gently to mix. Sprinkle with cheese. Makes 4 side-dish servings.
