A comforting bowl of creamy Tuscan mushroom pasta that warms the heart and soul with its luscious sauce and earthy mushrooms.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Pasta (Any type like spaghetti or penne)
  • 8 oz Mushrooms (Fresh varieties such as cremini or shiitake)
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (Can substitute with butter)
  • 2–3 cloves Garlic (Freshly minced)
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach (Can substitute with kale)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (Substitute with half-and-half or coconut milk for less calories)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (Can use nutritional yeast for a vegan option)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the Pasta: Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Cook the Mushrooms: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until they are golden and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, around 2-3 minutes.
  5. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and gently stir, allowing it to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
  6. Mix in the Cheese: Add in the Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and incorporates beautifully into the sauce.
  7. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Finally, add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure each strand is coated in that creamy goodness.
  8. Serve and Enjoy: Plate your creamy Tuscan mushroom pasta and feel free to sprinkle a little more cheese on top, or add a dash of crushed red pepper for some heat!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by adding a splash of cream or water to loosen the sauce.
