Ingredients
- 7 oz (200 g) pasta (your choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 7 oz (200 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 7 oz (200 g) fresh spinach
- 6.8 fl oz (200 ml) heavy cream
- 1.8 oz (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté them until they are softened and fragrant, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Cook the Mushrooms
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook them until they are golden brown. This should take around 5-7 minutes. The mushrooms will release their moisture and then begin to brown.
Step 4: Wilt the Spinach
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. This should only take a couple of minutes.
Step 5: Prepare the Creamy Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce thickens. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 6: Season the Sauce
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remember, the Parmesan cheese is salty, so taste before adding too much salt.
Step 7: Combine Pasta and Sauce
Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce until well coated. Make sure every piece of pasta is covered in the delicious sauce.
Step 8: Serve and Garnish
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.
