Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons sunflower oil

1 onion -- finely chopped

2 garlic cloves -- crushed

8 ounces light bean curd -- thinly sliced

10 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms -- thinly sliced

2 tablespoons shoyu or soy sauce

1 1/2 pounds spinach -- shredded

1 teaspoon sesame oil

12 ounces dried pasta (whole wheat) -- (rotelle)

salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds -- (2 to 3) to garnish

 

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or lidded skillet, and gently cook the onion

and garlic until soft.

 

2. Add the slices of bean curd and the mushrooms and stir well. Cook slowly

until the mushrooms are soft, then add the shoyu or soy sauce. Cover the pan and

cook for 4 minutes so that the mushrooms release their juices.

 

3. Add the spinach in handfuls and stir until it wilts and reduces in size. Cook

until soft, then sprinkle with the sesame oil, and season well.

 

4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until

firm-tender. Drain.

 

5. Pile the cooked vegetables over the cooked pasta, then serve immediately,

garnished with toasted sesame seeds.

NOTES : Asian-style dish is a departure from Italian flavorings but is a

combination that works very well and produces a robust sauce, which goes

perfectly with either whole wheat or buckwheat pasta. Bean curd boosts the

protein content, making this a complete meal, which is quick and simple to make.
