🍝 Creamy Spinach Mushroom Pasta Magic 🍄

A creamy delight in every forkful! Perfect for weeknight dinners or when you need a touch of comfort.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of your choice
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper and extra Parmesan for garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden, about 5-7 minutes. Incorporate the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Wilt the Spinach: Toss the fresh spinach into the skillet with the mushrooms, stirring occasionally until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy.
5. Combine: Mix the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring the fettuccine is well coated with the creamy spinach and mushroom sauce.
6. Serve: Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and additional Parmesan cheese.
