This pasta is quick to make and a perfect choice for a meatless dish. Feel free to swap out the mushrooms for any kind you like, as well as the noodles! You can make these with elbow noodles, or even tortellini!
12 oz bowtie pasta
1tbs extra virgin olive oil
8 oz of Cremini Mushrooms (Look like brown version of white button mushrooms)
1 zucchini sliced.
6 oz cherry tomatoes, halved.
2 cloves garlic, minced.
Black pepper
4 oz. cream cheese, softened.
1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
