spinach pasta...

we decided to have something different for dinner and thought about Italian .. My Husband and i both like pasta and i like pasta with white sauce much better than the tomato base...So here goes my trial with pasta ...Its a very simple and sumptuous dinner :)


Ingredients:
Penne pasta- 2 cups
baby spinach- just a bunch
mushrooms-1cup
parmesan cheese- grated 2-3 tbsps
butter-quarter or a small piece(just for frying)
jeera(cumin)-1tspn
oregano-1tspn
black pepper-1tspn
red crushed peppers-1 tspn

How i made it:
  1. First I boiled the pasta in water witha pinch of salt and oil.(Add the pasta in boiling water and take it out when it is 3/4th cooked ,'Al-Dente' )
  2. Next in a pan i fried the mushrooms in a little bit of butter,along with cumin seeds,black pepper and then added the spinach and sauted it till its cooked.
  3. After this i added the parmesan cheese and cooked it for two minutes till the cheese melts.
  4. Lastly i added the pasta and sauted it till the whole mixture comes together.
Red crushed peppers can be added if you need a little spice in the pasta.
Its very easy to make and heavenly because of the cheese and mushrooms.Have fun making it :)
