Pasta is great for busy weeknights because it's so versatile. Add vegetables, protein and/or some sauce and you have a satisfying meal. My family loves this Creamy Rigatoni with Portobello Mushrooms and Spinach and I make it a few times a year.

Rigatoni with Portobello Mushrooms and Spinach

How do you make Rigatoni Pasta with Portobello Mushrooms and Spinach?

For this recipe you'll need rigatoni pasta (or any other type of tubular pasta), portobello mushrooms, spinach, garlic, cream cheese and grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Cook the pasta in a large pot until al dente; then drain all the water except ½ cup.

While the pasta is cooking, cook the mushrooms and garlic in a large frying pan with a little olive oil until the mushrooms start to soften. Add both kinds of cheese and the pasta water; then season with salt and pepper.

You can use fresh ground black pepper or crushed red pepper (totally your preference). Add the pasta and mix well.
