Ingredients

  1. 1 package whole wheat penne
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    6 garlic cloves, minced
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/4 teaspoon dried basil
    1/2 medium white onion, diced
    1 can artichoke hearts, quartered
    6 ounces mushrooms, sliced
    5 ounce bag spinach
    2 tomatoes, diced
    black pepper and red pepper flakes to taste
    1/2 cup white wine
    1/2 cup vegetable broth
    Optional: 6 ounces roasted chicken, cubed

Directions

  1. Set salted pasta water to boil
  2. While the water boils, prepare all other ingredients.
  3. Cook pasta according to package directions.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. If using chicken, add to pan and sauté until browned. Otherwise, sauté garlic and onions until softened, approximately 4 minutes.
  5. Add sliced mushrooms, artichokes, and all seasonings. Stir over heat until mushrooms have softened, approximately 5 minutes.
  6. Add wine and stir. Let simmer for 5 minutes.

  8. Add tomato and spinach and simmer for another 3 minutes, until spinach has wilted.
  9. Remove from heat. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Toss pasta and serve with grated parmesan cheese.
