Mediterranean Pasta

16oz Penne Pasta

1/2 cup diced tomatoes

1/3 cup sauteed mushrooms

        (more or less tomatoes and mushrooms to your taste)

2oz white zinfandel

4oz marinara sauce

         add crushed red pepper flakes to sauce to a level that satisfies your need for a "kick"

4oz heavy whipping cream

handful of fresh spinach

Boil pasta to al dente, set aside and keep chilled

Sautee mushrooms, add pasta and tomatoes.  Add wine and marinara and cook until it thickens up a bit.  Then add whipping cream - Once this is heated through, mix in the spinach and serve.

I like to serve this on a bed of spinach with ciabatta bread fresh from the oven!
