Directions

1. To make the parmesan spinach mushroom pasta skillet: Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, according to the package instructions.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes until lightly browned.

3. Add the chopped garlic and cook for about 30 seconds longer. Then deglaze with a bit of vegetable broth. Reduce the heat and cook for about 1-2 minutes longer. Remove mushrooms to a plate and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

5. Once the pasta is ready, pour off the cooking water. Push spinach on the side in the skillet and add mushroom back, then put drained pasta in the pan and toss to combine. Add parmesan, the last tablespoon of olive oil, and Italian seasoning, and give a quick stir. Serve the parmesan spinach mushroom pasta with red chili pepper flakes and more parmesan, if you like. Enjoy!

Tip for the Parmesan Spinach Mushroom Pasta Skillet

If you enjoy meatless pasta recipes with lots of flavors, this spinach mushroom pasta recipe is perfect for you! The recipe uses simple, easy-to-find ingredients and everything you use in this pasta recipe can be found in most grocery stores. Here are a few tips to make the best pasta recipe ever:

• Use a good quality olive oil because it adds a lot to the flavor of this pasta dish.
• If you don’t farfalle, use pasta that holds the sauce well, such as penne or rotini.
• You can use different mushrooms to vary the taste: shiitake, portobello, cremini…
• To turn this pasta recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta. Gluten-free brown rice farfalle will work great!

What can we substitute for spinach?

You can either leave the spinach out or try this pasta recipe with chopped kale. You’ll just need to sauté the kale bit longer than spinach to soften it.

Can we freeze this spinach mushroom pasta?

We don’t suggest this pasta dish for freezing. The sauce will get absorbed into the pasta, leaving it dry. If you reheat refrigerated leftovers, you may want to add a little olive oil to compensate for what has been absorbed into the pasta while sitting in the refrigerator.
