Ok this penne rosa copycat recipe might be my new go-to dinner. 😍 It cooks in just 15 minutes and only requires a tiny bit of veggie chopping. Trust me, this one will be a family favorite! (Skip the red pepper flakes if you’ve got little ones and just add them to your plate after cooking!)
.
Ingredients
8oz pasta (i used barillaus protein+ penne!)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves, minced
4oz sliced button mushrooms (about 1 cup)
2–3 small Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 cup marinara sauce
2 cups baby spinach
2 oz cream cheese 
1/4 cup milk (i used organicvalley 2%)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to package directions, then set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, add the mushrooms to a large skillet and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the moisture is released.
Add the olive oil, red pepper flakes, oregano, garlic, and tomatoes and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Add the spinach and continue to cook for 1 minute.
Add the marinara sauce and cream cheese and continue to cook until cream cheese is melted.
Remove from heat and stir in milk and pasta. Mix until the pasta is evenly coated.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
