Party of One...


The girls and I haven't had a chance to sit down and eat just us girls this week.  So even though I was a party of "one" again tonight {Mr. Reasons travels during the week}, I wanted to slow down and make dinner special.  Even if the only other guest in Restaurant Reasons likes to sit on the floor and beg for a tasting.  On the menu tonight a vegetarian version of the hearty favorite "Beef Stroganoff."  The urge to cook this dish probably came from my one and a half weeks this summer as a vegan.  That ended when I had dreams of eating cheese enchiladas and beef with my hands. 

Ingredients
1 c of Whole Grain Pasta
1 oz of Gardein Beefless Tips
2 c of Mushrooms
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Butter
1 Clove of Garlic {chopped}
Fresh Parmesan Cheese
Salt, Pepper, & Italian Seasoning

Instructions
|1.| Boil water to cook penne pasta al dente. 
|2.| While pasta is cooking, saute beefless tips, mushrooms, olive oil, butter, and garlic until beefless tips are a golden brown.  Season mixture with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
|3.| Drain pasta, pour pasta into a bowl, and pour mixture over pasta.  Grate fresh Parmesan cheese over pasta and enjoy. {As you can see this recipe is quick and healthy.}


*Makes one hearty serving....see you tomorrow vT*
