I love Indian food. I mean, I have had almost everything off the menu at my local Indian restaurant, but I always go back to the vegetarian dishes, because they are my favorite. When I do order, I usually get 2 or 3 things, because then I can eat it all week! Tonight I got […]
Bow Tie Pasta with Spinach and Mushrooms
Oh, and LOTS of Parmesan. First I boiled a big pot of salted water and cooked my pasta. While I cooked the pasta, I sauteed half a container of mushrooms in a bit of olive oil for 5 minutes. Then I added and sauteed an entire large clam shell full of spinach until wilted, about […]
