305 calories Garlic Shrimp Pasta with Mushrooms and Spinach
Hi Everyone- my fiance is an amazing cook and I want to share some of his recipes (he is so sweet and accomodating to my weight loss too)
He makes a pasta dish that is so good and really good for you
Ingredients:
-6 oz (about half a box) of Barilla whole wheat Spaghetti
-3 tsp olive oil
-3 oz shrimp (15-20 shrimp)
-3 cloves garlic
-14 oz of Mushrooms, any type
-2 cups of raw spinach
First- start boiling some water in a pot. Then- put the olive oil in a pan and heat, the mince the garlic and saute. Once the garlic starts to smell good, cut up the mushrooms and add. Saute some more.
When the water boils, add the pasta.
Once the mushrooms are about halfway done, add the shrimp to the same pan with the garlic and the mushrooms. Then, add the spinach and put a lid on the frying pan so the spinach is pressed down a bit. The spinach will cook in just a minute or two.
Drain the pasta and add it to the frying pan and fold it in with the garlic, mushrooms and spinach.
Serve! and if you want, top with a little shake of some parmesan cheese!
Serves 3 (he has 2 servings (Mr. Metabolism!) usually and I have 1)
One serving fills a dinner bowl or plate, I can barely finish it!
One serving:
305 calories
48grams carbs
7 grams fat
17 grams of protein
89 mg sodium

You can do it without the mushrooms- actually, we recently discovered that mushrooms were nice in it (if you like mushrooms) but we have been making this for months and didnt use them! (you can do it without the spinach too)0 -
Can you make extra for me? I'll bring my own bowl, fork and chair.0
