Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta of your choice (fettuccine or penne work well)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Creamy Spinach Mushroom Pasta:

  1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  1. Sauté Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  1. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  1. Incorporate Spinach: Gradually add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  1. Prepare Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  1. Cheese It Up: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and mix well. Allow it to melt into the creamy sauce. Adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you desire more heat.
  1. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta directly into the skillet, tossing it gently in the sauce until fully coated. Remove the skillet from heat.
  1. Garnish: Serve immediately, garnishing with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
