Mushroom Spinach Pasta Bake with pine nuts

I have a couple of vegetarians in my family.  So, I like to try out a few recipes every now and then, that are perfect for them to eat!  This is what I came up with…a Mushroom Spinach Pasta Bake with pine nuts!I came up with this recipe with the help of a couple of Pioneer Woman recipes!  We changed up two different recipes to come up with this one.  It was a winner and everyone that tried it liked it!  The original recipe had an Alfredo sauce with the mushrooms and spinach.  Another recipe had the marinara sauce with cream.  So I combined parts of two recipes to come up with this recipe!

The pine nuts are just a delicious bonus!

 This pasta is a wonderful comfort food with the deliciousness of 3 different cheeses!  The flavors all compliment each other and pine nuts give this dish a delightful nutty flavor!Here is a picture of it before I baked it.  You can see all the different cheeses…ricotta, Parmesan and Mozzarella.

I used my homemade bottled spaghetti sauce, but you can use any bottled spaghetti or marinara sauce.I added a cob of corn and a piece of garlic bread to round out this delicious meal!

Even the kids ate this and some of them even asked for more.  It was delicious the second day for leftovers!

Do you have a favorite pasta dish that is vegetarian?  I loved this Mushroom Spinach Pasta Bake with pine nuts and I will be adding it to my arsenal of recipes.  The pine nuts are what put this over the top for me, I love any kind of nuts!  (I kept sneaking the toasted pine nuts out of the pan before I got them into the dish!)

The weather is starting to cool down, so we can start making more of these delicious comfort foods!  I am excited that I have one more dish that I can serve my family!

Thanks for Visiting…Is it a Pasta-Kind-Of-Day for you too?
