Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Pasta | Alexis D Lee
This creamy mushroom and spinach pasta is delicious and perfect if you want to skip out on meat! I have been incorporating more vegetarian meals into my diet, which is funny because I always said I could never skip out on meat or fish with my meal mainly because it felt like you could never get full without that protein source.
When I cook pasta, I like to use chickpea pasta because it is healthier, lower in carbs, and has more protein. Not to mention there are literally no nutrients in white anything, especially white pasta. Don’t get me wrong, I still have it, but I will use chickpea or brown rice pasta for the most part.
The key to this meatless pasta is the mushrooms and spinach because it gives it a lot more depth and flavor. In my opinion, onion and garlic are essential for almost any dinner dish that you are making. The caramelized onions are delicious in this pasta, and who doesn’t love garlic?
