12 ounces ziti pasta, uncooked
6 ounces Baby Spinach, fresh
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
1 large white onion, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth, low sodium, fat free
1/4 cup dry white wine
6 ounces low-fat cream cheese

This pasta dish was a culinary catastrophe! The sauce was curdled and the shrimp were rubbery. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful sauce and more tender shrimp.

Overall, I thought this pasta dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit too creamy for my taste and the shrimp were a bit overcooked. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce and more tender shrimp.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but I'm so glad I did! The spinach was cooked perfectly and it didn't overpower the other flavors in the dish. The creamy sauce was also delicious and the shrimp were cook
