Take basic lasagna ingredients—ricotta cheese, pasta and tomatoes—and skip the layering and long baking time to make a super-quick and satisfying meal for the whole family. For meat lovers, brown some turkey sausage along with the onions and garlic.
Ingredients
1 package of your favorite organic brown rice or Kamut pasta
1 tablespoon organic coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves cloves garlic, sliced
3 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 can organic diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
8 cups organic baby spinach
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (optional)
Preparation
1.Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta; cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
2.Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, 4 to 6 minutes.
3.Add tomatoes, spinach and crushed red pepper (if using). Increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring once halfway through, until the spinach is wilted, about 4 minutes.
4.Toss the sauce with the pasta and divide among 4 bowls. Dollop each serving with 3 tablespoons of ricotta if you wish..
This is a great tasting dish. Feel free to add any fresh herbs that you desire. It is wonderful served with a green salad and steamed broccoli or cauliflower.
Enjoy!!!
