Cooking Instructions
1.
In a small bowl, mix together the Balsamic Vinegar (1 cup), Olive Oil (3 Tbsp), Dried Oregano (1/2 tsp), Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (1 tsp), Salt (1/2 tsp), and 1 tsp Lemon Juice (1). Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce. Set aside.
2.
Pour the marinade sauce over the Portobello Mushrooms (4), and brush the sauce around the mushrooms. Marinate for 5-10 minutes.
3.
While the mushrooms are marinating, prepare the pasta, add Salt (to taste) to the boiling water. Cook the Fusilli Pasta (8 oz) until al dente according to the directions on the package. Occasionally stir to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
4.
Drain the pasta. Stir in Olive Oil (1 Tbsp). Set aside.
5.
On the grill pan over medium-high heat, place the mushrooms upside down. Brush on top with the marinade sauce. Grill for about 4 minutes.
6.
Flip the mushrooms over. Brush on top with marinade sauce. Grill for about 4 minutes or until the mushroom is tender.
7.
Into the pasta, add 2 Tbsp of marinade sauce, Arugula (2 oz), Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup), 1 tsp lemon zest, and season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste). Mix until combined.
8.
Place the portobello mushroom on top of the salad. Garnish with Parmesan Cheese (to taste) and serve with Sourdough Bread (to taste).
