Create a rich, comforting pasta dish featuring earthy mushrooms and a velvety garlic sauce. This recipe is designed for simple preparation and minimal cleanup, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pasta (fettuccine or penne work well)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place the pasta, sliced mushrooms, olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Pour the vegetable broth over the ingredients.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pasta is nearly tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir well during this time.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts into the sauce, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Taste the pasta and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a Tuscan Mushroom Pasta flavor, add 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained) along with the cream.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let the pasta sit off the heat for an extra 5 minutes before serving.
  • You can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half for a slightly lighter sauce, though it will be less rich.
