Pasta with Portobello Mushrooms and Sauce – Quick and Inexpensive Meal

There are those days when I am looking for an easy, quick, and inexpensive meal idea, yet nutritious at the same time.  One which will not require running out to the store for any missing ingredients.

Today, I had one of those days, and after checking my food supply in my pantry and fridge, I decided on a pasta meal with mushrooms and sauce.

It it not a casserole, so no baking involved, and the pasta sauce was ready made.  All I had to do is to cook the pasta, saute the mushrooms, and  mix it all together. Quick and easy, wouldn’t you agrees?

I had two packs of mushrooms, since they were on sale on my last food shopping , so I bought two for the price of one..great deal on Portobello Mushroons.

I also had some fresh Tuscany Bread, fresh garlic (I never run of of this food staple), so I was able to make homemade garlic bread to serve with our meal.

This meal will serve your whole family, for the price of one serving at  a local restaurant.
