From-scratch Bowties with Shrimp, Spinach, and Mushrooms
On rare occasions, our husband either has to go out of town for work or has to go to meetings that keep him out of the house until long after dinner time.
We take advantage of these rare occasions and make meals that we otherwise couldn’t because he wouldn’t eat them.
Our husband doesn’t like veggies aside from the typical starchy ones.
On top of that, he’s not much on the whole pasta dish for dinner unless it’s his favorite (Lasagna) or a heavy one with plenty of butter and sauce like Chicken Alfredo.
We love mushrooms. Love, love, love them!
Even as a child we ordered mushroom pizzas. We also loved salads as a kid, still do!
We could eat salads every day for the rest of our life and be evenly happy.
This dish is one that’s light, but satisfies that starchy craving for us.
