Rotini and Mushrooms

Original Recipe from:  Kay Johnson-Tomblin

If you are looking for a quick and easy side dish for dinner, this is it.  Plain pasta with dinner is just plain boring.  Tomato sauces and Alfredo sauces don’t always go with your main dish.  This recipe gives you a beefy flavor with onions, garlic, and fresh parsley to spice it up a bit.  Great with grilled meats, steaks and hamburger dishes.  If you are cooking for a crowd, it is very easy to double this recipe (as I did in these pictures).  It also reheats well in the microwave, so left overs are good too.  Enjoy!
