Whole Wheat Penne with Creamy Mushroom and Sun-dried tomato sauce

October 19, 2015

Anniversary dinner request from the MR tonight. A healthy spin on one of his favorite dishes from a local Italian bistro cleaned up and guilt-free. This is my go to bass cream sauce recipe. Feel free to make it your own and play around with seasonings and flavor. Although this creamy mushroom and sun-dried tomato sauce is a sure keeper you may not even want to. I served mine over roasted spaghetti squash and it’s was amazing!
