Ingredients
  

  • 1 8.8 oz box Barilla chickpea pasta
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • A few sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 8 ounces mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • ¼ - ½ cup white wine or pasta water
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to directions.
  2. Peel and mince the garlic, pick the thyme leaves, and clean and slice mushrooms. 
  3. In a large skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil, then add in the garlic, cook for 1 minute, just until golden. Add in the thyme, mushrooms, lemon zest and juice, plus salt to taste, and gently cook for 5 to 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the white wine, cooking for about 1 minute, and remove the pan from the heat. Drain the pasta once cooked (save about a cup of water to loosen pasta if needed). Toss the pasta with a little extra virgin olive oil, then stir in the mushroom sauce. If needed, add a bit of the pasta water to loosen pasta a bit.
  5. While warm, stir in the spinach, garnish with Parmesan, and season to taste before serving.
  6. Enjoy!

Notes

You can use some of the pasta water if preferred to substitute for the white wine.
