Instructions
Pasta: Cook your pasta of choice according to package directions. Set aside.
Vegetables: In a large flat bottom pan, heat oil on medium high, add mushrooms, zucchini, onion, garlic and spices, cook for about 8 – 10 minutes, or until mushrooms and zucchini are tender, stirring frequently. Add tomatoes and cook until heated through. Stir in spinach and let wilt. Taste for seasoning.
Assemble: Serve veggies over a bed of pasta with a good dusting of almond parmesan.

Store: Leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5- 6 days, in a covered container.
Notes
If you want, you can saute your onions and garlic first for five minutes and then add the other ingredients and saute again until tender. That is how it is usually done in recipes, but this is ‘lazy pasta’ and I cut that part out with great results, at least I think it was fine!
