popeye pasta.

a little bit over a week ago i had to make a quick dinner.

i remembered seeing a recipe for a pasta with popeye in the name. i couldn't really remember what exactly was in it.. so i just winged it. 

1 TB. olive oil

3 cloves minced garlic

1/2 pound of chopped spinach. (i am really not sure on this... all i know is that you need  A LOT of  it because spinach shrinks down a bunch.)

sliced mushrooms

1 lb. ziti 

1 cup heavy whipping cream.

salt & pepp

grated parmesan cheese

1) get a pot of boiling water for the pasta. 

2) add the olive oil to a large pot on medium heat. once it's piping hot saute the mushrooms garlic. don't burn the garlic though--garlic burns easily. 

3)add the spinach cooking for 2 minutes or until it's just barely cooked. 

4) add the whipping cream. this will create a sauce after it's cooked for a bit. season with salt and pepper and taste. 

5)once your pasta is close to being done, drain it and add to the sauce. cook on high until the pasta is completely done.top with the cheese, and your done!

 you can adjust any of these ingredients in order to get the taste you really want. i just kind of made this up in my head. 

pretty freaking easy... AND SO GOOD.
