Pasta with Spinach and Mushrooms

I love pasta.  I really love pasta with vodka sauce.  Add some veggies and I have a complete meal.  I went to the G & G Long Island Winter Farmer's Market and visited the Bambino's Ravioli table.  There I bought some fresh pasta and vodka sauce.  Then I headed over to the vegetable table next to them and purchase some baby portabella mushrooms and spinach.  I made and entire meal from the market and so can you.  Stop by the market, or use what you find at other markets and make this easy pasta dish.

Ingredients:

1 TBS olive oil
1 cup sliced baby portabella mushrooms, or your favorite mushroom
1 cup fresh spinach, packed
half pound pasta, fresh if available
1 cup vodka sauce
1/2 cup cooked pasta water, reserved
Parmesan cheese

Here's how:

Cook the pasta until al dente.

Heat the oil in a large skillet until warm.

Add the mushroom and spinach. 

Oil, mushrooms and spinach in pan

Cook the veggies for 5 minutes, until the mushrooms start to brown and the spinach withers.

After 5 minutes

Add the sauce and cook 2-3 minutes, until warm throughout.

Vodka sauce added

Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 cup of water you cooked the pasta in.

Pasta and water added

Cook the pasta in the sauce and water until the sauce and water are absorbed, about 5 minutes.                

Spinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.
