Ingredients:
- 1 lb of ground beef
- seasoned salt
- garlic salt
- pepper
- Italian seasoning blend
- 1/2 pint (8 oz) carton of baby portobello mushrooms
- 1 package of fresh spinach
- 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes with basil (it was what I had in the cupboard)
- balsamic vinegar
- 1 box of pasta
- 1 cup of parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
In a large skillet, begin to cook the ground beef and season with seasoned salt, garlic salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Allow it to brown for a few minutes, and then add the cleaned and chopped mushrooms. Continue to cook together for a couple more minutes until the mushrooms are pretty much cooked through. Add the fresh spinach and a few swirls around the pan of balsamic vinegar. Let the spinach wilt and then toss in the crushed tomatoes. Taste and adjust as needed with the seasonings from before or more balsamic vinegar. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes so that the flavors can combine before adding in the freshly cooked pasta. Mix in some parmesan cheese along with the pasta and sauce. Serve and garnish with extra cheese (if desired).
And let’s all be real here. Everything is better with some extra cheese on top.
