Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Pasta

Violine Deane
A quick delicious and indulgent creamy pasta dish with mushrooms and spinach. Ready in 20 minutes. 
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 4 - 6 portions

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams mushrooms of choice
  • 400 grams whole grain spaghetti pasta
  • 250 ml of soya cream
  • 200 grams fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1 onion
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • 1 small bunch of fresh parsley optional
  • some fresh chili pepper optional
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Get the spaghetti into a pot of hot water and cooking according to package instructions
  • Peel and chop the onion, and peel and finely chop the garlic. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to a pot on a medium/high heat and add the onion and garlic. Stir regularly for a few minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and continue to stir regularly on a medium high heat. After a few minutes the mushrooms will start to release water as they cook. Once this starts to happen, turn down to a medium heat and leave to simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes, until mushrooms are nice and soft.
  • Add the spinach. This may need to be done gradually, giving a stir each time so that the spinach starts to wilt and reduce in volume, if the pot is not big enough to add all at once.
  • Once all of the spinach has fully wilted, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the soya cream.
  • Add some fresh chopped parsley and some fresh chopped chili (if you like a bit of heat)
  • Combine with the cooked spaghetti
  • Season with salt and cracked black pepper to taste, and serve
