For an extra layer of flavor, try marinating the portobello mushrooms in the balsamic vinaigrette for about 15-20 minutes before grilling. If you don't have a grill, you can roast the portobello mushrooms in a 400°F (200°C) oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until tender. Feel free to substitute other cheeses for the goat cheese, such as feta or Parmesan. This salad is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled.

StepCook pasta according to package directions. Add asparagus in the last 3 minutes of cooking time. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl. (Total time: ~12-15 minutes)
02
StepPreheat your grill (indoor or outdoor) to medium-high heat. Brush the mushroom caps with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with 0.25 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon pepper. Grill for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until the mushrooms are tender and marked with attractive grill lines. Remove from the grill and slice into bite-sized pieces. (Total time: ~15 minutes)

StepAdd the sliced grilled mushrooms, baby spinach, thinly sliced red onion, and sun-dried tomatoes to the bowl with the cooked pasta and asparagus. Pour the balsamic vinaigrette over the mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Allow the salad to stand for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. (Total time: ~35 minutes)
