Mushroom Linguine with Joe’s Help
This simple “recipe” is actually a Trader Joe’s frozen entree that when properly heated up proves to be a very decadent lunch or dinner.
I do have to say I am a bit humbled to admit the use of pre-packaged, frozen, items but Trader Joe’s is such a lifesaver, I don’t see why not make this it’s own blog entry. You start off with the frozen pasta combination and instead of using only water in the reheating process, add some extra virgin olive oil into the pan, add a minced clove of garlic and saute to release flavors. Next, add the frozen nests of pasta with the sauce and pour a little boiling water on top of the mixture. Cover and let thaw and cook on medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Before plating the dish, add a little grated Parmesan cheese into the mix. This adds a nice nutty flavor to the mushrooms and gives the dish a little home touch.
When plating, add a plum tomato (cut in half, and lightly salted with garlic salt) and a fresh snip of parsley for color.
Enjoy this delicious lunch or dinner that was done in only 10 minutes!
