Ingredients
  

300g pasta (fettuccine or your favorite type)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

300g fresh mushrooms, sliced (e.g., cremini or button)

200g fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped

250ml heavy cream

100g grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining and set aside.

    Sauté the garlic and mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and have released their moisture, around 5-7 minutes.

      Add the spinach: Once the mushrooms have cooked down, stir in the chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

        Create the sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine with the mushroom and spinach mixture. Allow it to simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

          Incorporate cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's fully melted and gives the sauce a creamy texture. Adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding reserved pasta water as needed.

            Combine with pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly with the creamy sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs if desired. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.

              Serve: Remove from heat and plate the creamy spinach mushroom pasta. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves if desired. Enjoy your delicious dish!
