Creamy Veggie Pasta

I was craving pasta tonight (because apparently I didn't get enough Macaroni Grill for my meal off yesterday...) and so I came up with a recipe that satisfies my constant craving for pasta! It was really, really good.

Cut up a clove of garlic, a half (or half of a half, which is what I used) of onion, a couple of mushrooms, and some zucchini and saute it in evoo. Let the mushrooms and zucchini get soft. Add in a ladle or so of the pasta water to the mix and a dollup (how do ya like my measurements?) of low-fat cream cheese. Stir until the water and the cream cheese are completely blended. Add the pasta and a couple of handfuls of spinach and stir until the spinach is nice and wilted. The sauce gets thicker as it cools. Top with a little bit of low-fat feta cheese, and then eat the heck out of it!

Really, you can use any vegetables you have lying around, but the combination I had was pretty good (to me at least).
