Village Tavern Capellini Vegetarian

Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

• 12 ounces angel hair pasta, cooked according to package instructions, drained and kept hot
• 1 portobello mushroom cap
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato pesto
• 2 ounces butter
• 2 cups curly spinach
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. Season the portobello cap with salt and pepper; grill for about 3 minutes on each side or until heated through. Set aside.
2. Sauté garlic in olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Deglaze the pan with white wine; cook until reduced by half. Add sun-dried tomato pesto and butter; stir to fully incorporate. Remove from heat.
3. In a separate pan, wilt spinach in a little oil; season with salt and pepper.
4. Add pasta to the pesto sauce mixture; use tongs to combine. Place pasta in a serving bowl; top with spinach. Slice the portobello cap into 4 slices; fan the slices over the top of the pasta. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
