Hello beautiful bloggers and SITS girls! I'm entering my Garlic Bowtie Pasta with Spinach in a contest held over at The Secret is in the Sauce and their recipe site, Sits Girls Recipes!
My instructions from SITS are simple. Just post my recipe with a link back to their site, and when the voting begins I will let you all know so you can run on over there and vote for ME!
So here's my very simple but delicious recipe!
Garlic Bowtie Pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach
Cook and set aside one pound of bowtie pasta.
In a large pan, pour in a good amount of olive oil... at least a full cup.
Crush and gently sautee about 10 cloves of garlic, until tender, but not brown.
Add one full bag of baby spinach leaves (at first these will be a huge mound in
the pan, but keep turning them. They quickly wilt down to nothing).
Once the spinach has wilted, add one (drained) can of mushrooms. (I have used
fresh, but they produce too much water for this recipe).
Add salt and pepper, and a few dashes of garlic powder.
Pour your spinach mixture over the pasta and toss well, adding a liberal amount
of parmesan cheese. You're done, so enjoy!
On my. I LOVE garlic and spinach!!!!!! I am so going to make this. You could so win with this recipe.
This sounds yummy and hey, I can actually get all of the ingredients for it here! I'm going to make this soon, but instead of using canned mushrooms I'll do fresh in a small skillet and then add them. I love fresh mushrooms!
Thanks for the recipe. Good luck in the contest. :)

Oh yeah, I used fresh mushrooms when I made it and I don't think I would use canned. Four In costa rica has the right idea!
