Ingredients
- 1 package of Catelli Bistro® Tri-Colour Penne (375 g)
- 1 cup of asparagus, finely chopped
- 3 portobello mushroom caps with gills removed
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups of delicate baby spinach leaves
- ½ cup of thinly sliced red onion
- ½ cup of sun-dried tomatoes, sliced and drained (preserved in oil)
- ½ cup of crumbled goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped basil
- For the Balsamic Vinaigrette:
- ⅓ cup of high-quality olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of rich balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons of refreshing lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon of tangy Dijon mustard
- 1 clove of garlic, finely minced
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground pepper
Step 1
Prepare a delightful pasta dish with a touch of creativity. Begin by cooking the pasta following the instructions on the package. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, toss in some fresh asparagus for a vibrant addition. Once cooked, drain the pasta and transfer it to a spacious bowl.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, fire up your grill - whether indoors or outdoors - to a cozy medium-high heat. Give your mushroom caps a loving brush of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Grill these beauties for around 5 minutes per side until they boast those tempting grill marks and turn tender. Once done, slice them up for added texture.
Step 3
As the mushrooms sizzle, take a moment to prepare a luscious Balsamic Vinaigrette. Whisk together some olive oil, tangy balsamic vinegar, zesty lemon juice, a hint of mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4
Now, let's bring everything together in a harmonious dance of flavors. Combine the grilled mushrooms, fresh spinach, finely chopped onion, and sun-dried tomatoes with the pasta. Gently toss everything with the prepared dressing until each ingredient is lovingly coated. Allow the flavors to meld together for about 30 minutes to enhance the taste.
Step 5
When ready to serve, top the dish with crumbled goat cheese for a creamy touch and fresh basil leaves for a burst of herbal aroma. Enjoy this delightful and flavorful pasta dish with loved ones.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your portobello mushrooms in a paper bag in the refrigerator to help them stay fresh and firm.
- 2. Store fresh spinach in a container lined with a damp paper towel to maintain crispness and prevent wilting.
- 3. To maximize shelf life, store cooked pasta in an airtight container in the fridge, ensuring it stays moist and flavorful.
