Fusilli Pasta with spinach tomatoes and mushrooms! Make this quick and delicious, easy weeknight dinner! Your family will love this!

In an effort to clean out the refrigerator and use up a lot of leftover vegetables, I threw this fave pasta dish together. But tonight, I ran out of tomatoes (thought I had more) and my husband suggested tomato paste, so I threw that in, along with more vegetables. . so voila! Fusilli Pasta with Spinach, Mushrooms and Tomatoes (Take 2). My husband thinks this one tastes better. I certainly think the tomato paste helps to brighten up the dish. Hope you give this one a try!

  • 1-2 teaspoons crushed garlic
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
