Description

This creamy and flavorful pasta dish features sautéed mushrooms, fresh spinach, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, all combined in one skillet for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (penne or bowtie works well)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (optional, for a creamier sauce)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Sauté Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add Garlic and Spinach: Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Stir in Parmesan cheese and heavy cream (if using), mixing until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a lighter dish, you can skip the heavy cream.
  • Feel free to add cooked protein, like chicken or shrimp, for extra heartiness.
