Ingredients
  

12 oz (340g) fettuccine or spaghetti

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

8 oz (225g) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

4 cups fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a dairy-free option

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan option)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

    Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.

      Add Pasta and Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring it to a gentle boil. Add the fettuccine or spaghetti to the pot, stirring gently to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.

        Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed most of the liquid.

          Incorporate Spinach and Cream: Stir in the chopped spinach, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is creamy.

            Add Cheese: Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

              Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy mushroom and spinach pasta!
