Spiral Pasta with Mushroom Sauce

As the colder season continues to roll in, this comforting meal will be most welcome. Whole grain spiral pasta with mushroom sauce is on the menu. You’ll drop some sliced Chik’n strips into the sauce before bathing the pasta with these rich flavors. A side salad and sliced apple complete the meal.

Mushroom sauces present the opportunity to try some new varieties of mushrooms, or a mix of mushrooms.  Try Chanterelles, Morel, Porcini or Shiitake mushrooms.
