creamy spinach and mushroom spaghetti

Posted on September 28, 2024

Here’s a delicious recipe for creamy spinach and mushroom spaghetti that’s both comforting and quick to prepare!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  3. Add Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Spinach: Add the spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted (if using fresh) or heated through (if using frozen).
  5. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes, thickening slightly. If it’s too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  6. Combine: Add the drained spaghetti to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
  7. Serve: Plate the spaghetti and garnish with extra Parmesan and chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Tips

  • Add Protein: For extra protein, consider adding grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas.
  • Flavor Boost: A squeeze of lemon juice can brighten up the dish!
  • Herbs: Fresh basil or thyme can also be a great addition.

Enjoy your creamy spinach and mushroom spaghetti!
