    Being able to cook up a pasta dish with minimal effort and hearty flavoring is the best. The addition of baby Bella mushrooms and spinach provides this simple dish with a hearty flavoring and an amazing amount of nutrients.

    One of the biggest pluses of this simple pasta dish is that you can easily change up the taste and texture each time you make it by changing up the toppings. Fresh herbs, pine nuts, or even a bit of vegan parmesan are an easy way to make this dish taste unique, each and every time. It also can feed a crowd so make certain to share your love of pasta and veggies with all your family and friends.

    What you'll need

    • Pasta. Any medium type of pasta can be used here.
    • Olive Oil. Or other kind of oil.
    • Mushrooms. Baby Bella or crimini mushrooms.
    • Tomatoes. Cherry tomatoes are best, because they are the sweetest.
    • Spinach. Baby spinach has mild flavor, tender leaves, and no stems, that's why I always prefer using it.
    • Garlic. Use more or less, to suit your taste.
    • Seasoning. Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (for a touch of heat).
    • Garnish. Use toasted pine nuts, vegan Parmesan, or fresh herbs to garnish this dish.

    How to make this pasta

    1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and start cooking the pasta according to the package instructions.

    3. Add the cherry tomatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 10 minutes, until the tomatoes are tender and release their juices.

    4. In the meantime, drain the pasta and reserve some pasta water.

    5. Add spinach, pasta, and about a ¼ cup of pasta water to the tomatoes, and keep cooking until the spinach is wilted. Use more pasta water, if necessary.

    Helpful Tips

    • Don't overcook the noodles. Make certain to pay attention to the directions on the package. You don't want soggy and mushy noodles - no one does.
    • Change up the mushrooms. Bella mushrooms are great but you can easily use any type of mushrooms in this dish.
    • Add in more veggies. Feel free to add in even more veggies for flavoring and color.

    How to store and reheat

    Pasta is one of those dishes that stores perfectly and reheats wonderfully. All you need is a container with a lid to put the leftovers in and keep it stored in the fridge until you're ready to eat.

    When it's time to reheat, you can pop it in the microwave or you can reheat it slowly in the skillet on the stove. Be careful and pay attention as you don't want to overcook the noodles while you're reheating.

    Recipe variations

    There are so many ways that you can vary up this recipe. Change up the type of pasta or noodles that you use so it looks different and has a different texture every single time.

    You can also add tofu to give it an even bigger punch of protein.
