Make this easy, creamy mushroom pasta in one pot for minimal cleanup. It features earthy mushrooms, garlic, and spinach, ready in under 30 minutes for a perfect weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz linguine or spaghetti
  • 1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  4. Add the dry pasta, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking, until the pasta is nearly tender.
  6. Remove the lid. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Continue to cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the pasta is fully cooked.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the sauce.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • If you skip the wine, add an extra 1/2 cup of vegetable broth in step 4.
  • This recipe is a great base for adding cooked chicken or Italian sausage.
