Fast Dinner: Pasta with Garlic, Mushroom and Rosemary

During the week, its important to have some fast, go-to recipes that are more interesting than run of the mill spaghetti.  My family loves pasta, and it can be such an easy thing to throw together on a busy night.  Last night, we tried a new recipe I came across on the internet (from ABC's daytime show The Chew):  Pasta with Garlic, Mushroom and Rosemary

This recipe calls for cheese ravioli, but I used tri-colored cheese tortellini as I already had some on hand.  The sauce is delicious enough that it would be great with a non-stuffed pasta like a penne.  You can also get creative with this and add other ingredients such as grilled chicken, artichoke hearts or a little lemon zest.


It is important to slightly undercook your pasta (whatever type you use) as it will cook a little further when tossed in the sauce.   From start to finish, it took about 20 minutes to prepare and serve.  Those you are cooking for will never guess how easy it is because its visually appetizing and great tasting.  Easy and delicious?  What's not to try!
