Instructions
Step 1
Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. When there are about 3 minutes left, toss in the asparagus so it cooks along with the pasta. Drain everything and transfer it to a large bowl.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat your grill to medium-high. Brush the portobello mushrooms with olive oil and season them with a little salt and pepper. Grill the mushrooms for about 5 minutes on each side until they’re tender and have nice grill marks. Once done, slice them up.
Step 3
Next, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper to make a simple vinaigrette.
Step 4
Add the grilled mushrooms, fresh spinach, chopped onion, and sun-dried tomatoes to the pasta. Pour the dressing over everything and toss gently to coat. Let the salad sit for about 30 minutes so the flavors can meld.
Step 5
Just before serving, sprinkle some crumbled goat cheese and fresh basil on top for a tasty finish.
