December 13, 2011- Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Pasta

Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Pasta

This is a recipe I think we might have tried before but I don't remember. You sautee the mushrooms with some olive oil. We had some whole wheat penne as our pasta. You add some vegetable broth, lemon, and dried oregano to cook with the mushrooms. Then you add the spinach and some cream cheese. You then toss the pasta with some remaining pasta water and serve it. It was a pretty quick dinner (less than 30 minutes). It was also really good. You could taste the cheese, oregano, as well as the lemon flavor. The spinach and mushrooms were also good and the whole penne is a healthier option compared to normal pasta. Enjoy!

December 6, 2011- Lasagna

Lasagna

So since I had class tonight Nick was in charge of dinner. All that I put on the menu was "Lasagna." So that left Nick up to decide to include whatever he wanted. I bought fresh cremini mushrooms and ricotta cheese as well as some mozzarella and parmesan. The rest was up to him. Well he decided to include spinach, carrots, and haricots verts (long, thing green beans) as well as the creminis I bought in our lasagna. It was in a smaller brownie pan and had several layers. The tomato basil sauce we use from Trader Joe's was delicious and I know he added some other seasonings to the sauce as well. It was really yummy. I love coming home to a home cooked meal prepared by my husband :)
