Yum.

Just a quick recipe I tried the other day for all of you that I convinced to eat a little less meat. I found it in Ladies Home Journal under their piece The Healthy Cook.

• 6 oz. dried farfalle pasta (or whatever you fancy)


• 1 tbsp. olive oil


• 1 medium onion, chopped


• 1 cup sliced portabella or other fresh mushrooms


• 2 cloves of garlic, minced


• 4 cups of spinach, thinly sliced


• 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, chopped


• 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper


• 2 tbsp. shredded parmesean

Cook pasta according to directions, drain. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 minutes. Stir in spinach, thyme, and pepper. Cook until spinach is slightly wilted, about 1 min. Toss mushroom and spinach mixture with pasta and sprinkle with cheese.

This dish was so delicous even my pickiest kid (you haven't met picky until you've met this one:) raved about it.

Hope everyone enjoys, and if you like we can share recipes from time to time.
