About this Recipe

Somedays, we just want a change. We eat Indian based meals with healthy and tasty spices and herbs. But sometimes, we just want food we were brought up on, just for a change. This is one of those meals.

Nutrition

Creamy pasta sauce with flavors of butter, garlic and parmesan. I used fresh spinach from the garden, and if I was in a place to hunt mushrooms, I would use them in this recipe. Wild Oyster mushrooms would be great.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 tsp Garlic Grated, pressed or finely chopped
1 cup Mushrooms Fresh, sliced
1 cup Vegetable broth Or 1 cup water and bullion cube
¾ cup Cream
1 tsp Himalayan pink salt
½ tsp Black peppercorn Fresh ground
½ cup Parmesan cheese Finely shredded.
2 cups Spinach Chopped, fresh
4 cups Pasta Cooked, your choice of pasta; fettuccini is good!

Equipment

1 Kadai pan, Or Dutch oven, or large fry pan
1 Large pot For boiling pasta

Method

Heat oil and butter in large kadai or fry pan. Add the mushroom and sautee until the mushrooms are soft, cooked and maybe slightly brown, about 8 -10 minutes. Keep an eye on them and stir frequently
(At this point, you can bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook according to instructions. Drain and set aside, and do NOT rinse.)
Add the pressed garlic and saute with the mushrooms for several minutes.
Add the vegetable broth, cream and salt and pepper. Bring to a low boil and simmer for several minutes to reduce the sauce a bit.
Add the parmesan cheese; stir to melt, then add the chopped fresh spinach mix well, and cook over low heat until spinach wilts.
Add the cooked pasta, mix well and serve. Top with more fresh grated parmesan cheese if desired.
