Roasted mushrooms add hearty flavor and texture to this meatless pasta dish with spinach and cheese.
Recipe:
- Roast 1lb assorted mushrooms at 425 degrees F with olive oil, minced garlic and 2 Tbs butter on a sheet tray for 15 minutes. Toss and return to the oven for 20-25 minutes or until browned and crispy.
- Add a splash of sherry vinegar and add a few large handfuls of spinach to the sheet tray. Toss to combine and pop back in the oven for a few minutes just to wilt the spinach.
- Meanwhile, cook 1lb linquine to package directions and strain, reserving ½ cup salted pasta water. Return to the pot and season with salt and pepper, olive oil and ½ cup ricotta. Add reserved pasta water to loosen cheese and help coat the noodles.
- Divide the noodles among plates and top with mushroom spinach mixture. Garnish with fresh grated parmesan and black pepper.
