I wanted to change up my usual pasta sauce recipe so I added mushrooms and spinach. Turned out really good and it was a great way to eat plenty of veggies. Here is the finished sauce:
1/2 pound (or more) mushrooms (I used portobello), sliced
1-1/2 pounds tomatoes, diced
6 oz. baby spinach, roughly chopped
2-3 cloves (1 T.) garlic, minced
1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 t. fennel seeds, crushed
1/2 t. fresh lemon zest
Parmesan
Reserved pasta water
Saute mushrooms in olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, fennel seeds, and tomatoes. Season with salt and continue cooking about 8 minutes or until mixture gets saucey. Add the spinach, pine nuts, and lemon zest.
Cook pasta of your choice (I used ravioli, but it certainly doesn't have to be stuffed pasta) and add to the sauce. Add a little pasta water if necessary. Serve topped with parmesan.
