Great meatless meal or cut up and saute a chicken breast or two to switch it up. I created this recipe myself tonight. Sounded like a good blend so decided to try it. Putting it down to save , but thought I would share as well. I served this with garlic bread . It would be good with a green salad as well. I like to season with Mrs. Dash low sodium seasoning as we are trying to watch our sodium. I also use Smart balance Buttery Spread in place of the butter. Amounts are just estimates. You can add more or less of what you like for your own taste. Ingredients:
12 ounces of bowtie pasta |
1 medium onion |
6 ounces sliced mushrooms |
4 ounces of sliced olives |
