Parmesan Spinach Mushroom Pasta Skillet: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 oz. uncooked pasta (penne or spaghetti)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
– 4 cups fresh spinach
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Parmesan Spinach Mushroom Pasta Skillet:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté Garlic and Mushrooms: Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is aromatic.
4. Add Spinach: Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Create the Sauce: Lower the heat, then pour in the heavy cream. Mix well and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
6. Mix in Cheese: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
7. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring until well coated with the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste.
8. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the heat, then garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm.
