“This is my own invention and so good, healthy and easy that I wanted to share it with someone! It consists of cooked bow tie pasta shapes covered in a creamy mushroom and vegetable sauce. A complete vegetarian meal in one dish. You can use milk or skim milk instead of cream depending on how rich you want the dish to be.” - by Helena Rudolph

Ingredients

1 pound fresh mushrooms
10 zucchini
1 onion
2 tablespoons butter

"A great recipe! You dont need a food processor. I just chopped everything finely. Parmesan cheese adds more flavour rather than dumping salt into it...." See more"

"I felt the sauce was a very creative base or foundation to which to add, making it quite versatile. If it would have called for more seasonings I would have given it a 4. I chose to add fresh ground p..." See moreepper, garlic salt, a pinch of paprika and a pinch of dry mustard. It was quite tasty.
