Shellbows with Red Sauce, Mushrooms and Spinach
This week’s rendition of pantry pasta is super easy to make and delicious. I combined my favorite shellbows with red sauce, mushrooms and spinach.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces shellbow pasta , al dente
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided - 1 tablespoon for the pasta 1 tablespoon for the mushroom / spinach mixture
- 1 jar store-bought red sauce, or 3 cups of my homemade red sauce - recipe linked above
- ¼ cup coconut milk, shake the can well to make sure it’s well combined before using - you can skip this step if you use store-bought sauce.
- 10 ounces baby bella mushrooms, washed and sliced
- 6-8 ounces baby spinach, fresh
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup shaved parmesan cheese, as garnish
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Equipment
- 3-quart NanoBond soup / sauce pot - Hestan Culinary
- 11-inch titanium skillet - Hestan Cilunary
- 3.5-quart NanoBond essential pan - Hestan Culinary
Instructions
- Cook the shellbow pasta according to the package. I like to cook mine al dente because it will continue cooking in the pan. Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, drain the water off using a colander and drizzle it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Next, you’ll heat the red sauce in a 3-quart soup pot. If you are using my quick homemade red sauce recipe, add a ¼ cup of coconut milk to the sauce and stir well. You can skip this step if you’re using store-bought sauce.
- While the sauce is heating, add 1 tablespoon olive oil to your 11-inch titanium skillet. First, add the mushrooms, then the spinach to the skillet. Season everything with some salt. Cook until the spinach is wilted, and the mushrooms have a light sear.
- Add the cooked pasta back into the 3.5-quart essential pan. Add the warm red sauce, and the mushroom spinach mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and coated in the sauce.
- Option to top everything with cracked black pepper, parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
