Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta of your choice (spaghetti, fettuccine, etc.)
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and chopped spinach, and sauté until the spinach is wilted.
- Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
- Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Dish out the pasta into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your quick and flavorful meal!
