Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil a pot of salted water, add your choice of pasta, and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 6–7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Stir in minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes, then add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Pour in ½ cup of heavy cream and mix in ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Add the drained pasta, tossing gently to coat with the sauce. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
  6. Serve the creamy Spinach Mushroom Pasta warm, topped with extra Parmesan cheese.
