An Easy Pasta Recipe To Impress

You can make a delicious, impressive dish without having to spend a whole lot of money or suffering a ton of tress. With a simple pasta recipe you can serve a dish that has a gorgeous array of colors, is filled with flavor, and best of all simple to make. Your feast can be ready in jiff, but taste like it took hours to prepare.

Pasta can be a rich hearty dish. It can also be a light, summery affair with the right ingredients. Having a quality wine on hand to serve with any pasta a dish is a simple way to kick your meal up a notch. When it is properly chosen it can enhance the flavors that you have added to the pasta. For this recipe a chilled, dry white wine is recommended.

Start by boiling tri-color spiral pasta. Cook the pasta until it is al dente and then remove and drain. The pasta should be nice and firm as it will later simmer in a sauce and soften further. Give the pasta a nice toss in the strainer to make sure that the noodles are separated.

In a deep pan slowly saute several chopped cloves of garlic and a half cup of sliced mushrooms in one teaspoon of olive oil. One rounded teaspoon of a store bought, jarred variety can be substituted. Once the garlic has slightly browned and definitely softened a bit, add one can of diced, seasoned tomatoes. These can be seasoned with basil and oregano. If you have the time you can chop fresh basil in yourself, but the already seasoned tomatoes will do.

A great addition is pine nuts. Because the flavor of these are so distinct, it may be best to leave these out if you are entertaining finicky eaters. They also make for a nice substitution for garlic when your company happens to not be found of garlic.

You should let this combination simmer on low until the flavors have had a chance to mix. After several minutes have passed, slowly stir in one loose cup of finely chopped, fresh or frozen spinach. If you use frozen, make sure that it is thawed and drained. Stir in one quarter cup of crumbled gorgonzola cheese and one quarter cup of heavy cream. Season the sauce with ground sea salt or regular table salt to your taste. Once this has been done, add your pasta to the sauce and allow these to sit until they have reached the desired tenderness.

The pasta can then be placed into a serving dish and garnished with shredded parmesan cheese. A large, tossed salad served with a vinaigrette dressing as well as sourdough bread will complement this entree nicely. With the right wine, this simple pasta recipe can bring complements to the cook as well.
