Vegetarian Italian Pasta Skillet

Vegetarian Italian Pasta Skillet Dinner
A 30-minute meatless skillet dinner, made with a can of Progresso® Light soup, comes to the rescue and serves two.

Prep Time:15 min
Start to Finish:25 min
Makes:2 servings (1 3/4 cups each)


1 1/3 cups frozen sausage-style soy-protein crumbles
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (I left out the mushrooms)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion (1 medium)
1 can (18.5 oz) Progresso® Light Italian-style vegetable soup
3/4 cup uncooked bow-tie (farfalle) pasta (2 oz)
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese (1 oz)

1. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook soy crumbles, mushrooms and onion over medium-high heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until crumbles are hot and vegetables are tender.
2. Stir in soup. Cover; heat to boiling. Stir in pasta; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer 10 minutes.
3. Add spinach; cook uncovered 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until spinach is hot and just begins to wilt. Sprinkle with cheese.
