Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz (400g) farfalle pasta
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, sliced
  • 3 or 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 14 oz (400g) mushrooms, sliced
  • 10 oz (300g) fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) low-sodium vegetable broth
  • Fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, following package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté the sliced onion for 2–3 minutes until translucent and slightly browned. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms for about 3 minutes until browned. Add oil if needed. Remove and set aside.

4. Add spinach to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and drain excess moisture.

5. Add a bit more oil, then sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Deglaze the pan with vegetable broth.

6. Stir in heavy cream, parmesan, red chili flakes (optional), and Italian seasoning. Cook for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

7. Return the mushrooms, onions, and spinach to the skillet. Add the drained pasta and toss to combine.

8. Top with more parmesan and chili flakes if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

• Add grilled chicken or shrimp for extra protein.

• For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.

• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or broth.
