RECIPE & PHOTO COURTESY OF VEGAN ABOUT TOWN

Spinach Pesto Pasta with Mushrooms, Baby Roma Tomatoes, and Wilted Spinach

Ingredients
one bushel spinach
handful pine nuts
one clove garlic
olive oil
half a dozen mushrooms
one pack of baby Roma tomatoes
half a pack of fettuccine

Method
Put the pasta on to cook. Take a handful of spinach leaves (no stalk), and pound (or blend), gradually adding the pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil, as well as more spinach (about a quarter to a half of the bushel), until a rich, goopy texture is achieved.

Slice the mushrooms, and sauté in some olive oil. When they are soft and have released a lot of liquid, throw in the tomatoes (halved), and some more of the spinach. Stir for a minute or three, until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes are looking a little bit wrinkly, but don’t overcook them!

Drain the pasta, and combine with the pesto, and stir through the mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes. Serve hot.
