INGREDIENTS
4 oz Extra Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Button Mushrooms, sliced
2 oz Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
2 Tbsp Light Cream Cheese
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook until they are soft and have released their moisture.
Mix in the light cream cheese, allowing it to melt and combine with the beef and mushrooms to form a light cream sauce.
Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to ensure everything is evenly mixed and coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then serve hot.
