White Bean and Mushroom Marsala
with spinach / spaghetti
This special dish combines a rich sauce that comes together with sweet, tart Marsala cooking wine with mushrooms that are seared to golden brown. We add wilted spinach and white beans for flavor and color and spoon the sauce over pasta to create a homey Italian classic. We last featured this meal in 2016.
