Quick Penne Pasta

Ingredients

* 2-3 cups Penne pasta
* Handful of baby spinach
* 1 Head of broccoli
* 1 Cup chopped button mushrooms
* Parmesan cheese
* 2 Tbsp. Soy sauce
* 1 Tbsp. Hoisin sauce
* 1 Lemon ( juice and zest )
* 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
* 1 Garlic clove ( chopped )
* 1 Tsp. thyme

Method

1. Cook pasta according to directions
2. In a large saucepan over medium heat add olive oil, mushrooms and begin to cook down and add the garlic and thyme.
3. Now toss in the broccoli and begin to brown ( about 2 minutes )
4. Combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, lemon juice and zest in a bowl and mix together. Pour into mushroom and broccoli mixture.
5. Add spinach and cooked pasta and stir to mix thoroughly.
6. Top with Parmesan cheese and serve it up.
7. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: To avoid the broccoli getting soggy, keep the heat on, constantly stir and avoid over crowding the pan. Over crowding will cause it to steam and quickly become soggy.
