Author Notes: This recipe is from a vegetarian print-maker I used to work with. Add as much spinach and mushrooms as you like. Remember they will wilt/shrink down. I love them both so I will tend to add a little more. I hope you like it as much as I do. - Holstein83

Serves 3-4

Mushroom tortellini (enough pre-made fresh containers for (1) jar of pasta sauce)
1 Jar of Sun-Dried Tomato Alfredo pasta sauce
8 ounces Shiitake Mushrooms, Sliced
1 Bag of Baby Spinach
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2-3 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
1/3 cup Red Wine (Dry preferred, nothing sweet)
S & P to Taste
Fresh Parmesan Cheese, Grated or Shaved (Optional)

Boil water to cook tortellini per manufacturer's instructions. Add tortellini when ready etc...
While water is heating, heat olive oil in large saucepan.
Add garlic and mushrooms. Saute for about (5) minutes until mushrooms become tender and begin to sweat. Stir frequently.
