Pasta Alfredo with Smoky Portobello Strips

1 box Whole Grain or Whole Wheat Pasta, cooked (8 to 12 oz / 230 to 340g)

Alfredo Sauce, heated up

Smoky Portobello Strips (directions below)

subheading: For the Smoky Portobello Strips:

4 portobello mushrooms (2 per person)

Marinade (recipe below)

3 handfuls baby spinach

subheading: Marinade:

3 tablespoons water

3 tablespoons soy sauce

3 tablespoons Coconut Aminos

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

2 teaspoons garlic granules

10 turns black pepper

Wipe the mushrooms with a paper towel to remove any dirt, then slice them into about

¾ inch strips. If your stems are very woody and hard (insert dirty joke here) remove

and discard them, otherwise, slice them up as well. Place the strips into a ziplock bag

or container with a leak proof lid.

Place the Marinade ingredients into a bowl and stir. Pour the marinade into the bag

with the mushrooms and seal the bag shut. Move the mushrooms and turn the bag so

that they are fully covered in the marinade. Lay the bag flat and allow to sit for about 10

- 15 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium heat for two minutes. Place the mushrooms in the skillet,

along with the rest of the marinade and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes, then flip

them over and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

Place the spinach into the skillet and stir. Cook the mushrooms and spinach for about

2 minutes, until the mushrooms are lightly browned, tender and juicy.

subheading: To Reheat the Alfredo Sauce:

This sauce reheats best on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally,

until hot. Microwave reheating is not recommended, but if you must reheat in the

microwave, heat it slowly on a lower temperature, stirring occasionally, until heated

through. If sauce is too thick, add a bit of water or unsweetened nondairy milk to thin it

out.

subheading: Assemble your din din:

Cook the pasta per the instructions on the box. When the pasta is done, transfer it to a

strainer and strain out as much water from the pasta as possible by tapping the

strainer against the sink. You don’t want your dish to be watery, so drain your pasta as

much as possible.

Place a portion of pasta into the bowl you will be eating from and ladle on a generous

amount of warm Alfredo Sauce. Top with Portobello Mushroom Strips and spinach and

get ready to devour some major deliciousness!.
