    The pasta is flexible to taste. Cook the mushrooms a few minutes longer to caramelize them and change up the taste. Add other herbs. Add in a few cloves of garlic along with the mushrooms. Use other greens like Kale, Rainbow Chard, Mustard, collard.

      I love your simple pasta dish. We eat gluten free pasta now and again and I’ve shared a recipe for Roasted Vegetable Pasta Bake which can be made with or without the cheese and is our all time favourite!

      You can never go wrong with pasta, especially a healthy, whole grain variety. Those quick cooking noodles have saved me so many times on hectic days, and this looks like another fool-proof go-to dish.
