omnomnomPretty much what the title says! Here, have some proportions...
OK, so:
-1 box penne pasta, cooked, drained and tossed with a LITTLE bit of oil. I used gluten-free pasta because, well, non-gluten girl needs non-gluten foods, but you could use whole wheat or even regular penne. Heck, use bowties or spaghetti or something. You want something with surface area here.
-2 packages frozen chopped spinach
-2 packages baby portabella mushrooms, sliced. Either purchase them sliced or slice them yourself, no matter.
-1 big handful sundried tomatoes, sliced. I prefer mine bite-sized for optimum distribution.
-1 clove garlic, minced
-fresh cracked pepper
-shredded Parmesan cheese
-EDIT: a big dollop of sour cream
Obviously, cook the pasta. While the pasta is cooking, put your spinach into a frying pan with a lid that fits. Turn it on medium-high. Add a couple tablespoons of water to help it defrost, and break up the block until it's mostly not frozen but is still steaming. Put the garlic in and sauté for a couple minutes. Add the pepper and the mushrooms on top and put lid on. Allow to cook for 5-7 minutes, until mushrooms start to "sweat" and garlic smells nutty and sweet. Add the sundried tomatos and steam for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix together with pasta. EDIT: Mix in sour cream. When serving, top with cheese and mix in.
The best part? It's even better as leftovers. Yay!

Edited to add sour cream. It helps bind everything together. You can leave it out if you don't want it, I guess, but you'll want to add some butter or something.
