I developed a spinach stroganoff when I was in college that I still use to this day. I saute mushrooms and onions with ground pepper (mixed variety) and any of the three - basil, tarragon, or fresh oregano. When onions are about halfway cooked I add either fresh spinach, small zucchini slices, fresh peas or whatever even if it's seven or eight sliced green olives, then a splash of white wine and continue to cook and add one - three cloves of fresh garlic cut in chunks you can stab with a fork (I like the garlic barely cooked) and ground coriander to taste. When the pasta is drained, remove saute from heat and add sour cream, hopefully there's some concentrated fluid in the mix ( a tablespoon or so) to help season the sour cream, mix well and add to pasta, maybe top with shredded Parmesan - not the stuff already shredded in a package.

I like angel hair pasta, cooking time is short and it's inexpensive. I lived on that in college and I still make it at least once a week. Other items can be added for variety like fresh tomato or for carnivores, some meat of choice.
