Description
A quick and hearty Mushroom Spinach Pasta with Shallots recipe that combines earthy mushrooms, vibrant spinach, and a hint of garlic, all in a delightful one-pan dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup thinly sliced shallots (about 1 large or 2 medium)
- Kosher salt to taste
- 10 ounces white button mushrooms (sliced into chunky pieces)
- 8 ounces portobello mushrooms (sliced into chunky pieces)
- 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- ½ teaspoon crushed red chili
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 8 ounces dried pappardelle or fettuccine pasta
- ¼ cup rosé or dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
- 5 ounces baby spinach leaves
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Place a large (12-inch) pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and shallots to the pan along with ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Cook until the shallots are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms to the pan in one layer. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with another pinch of salt. Stir them around with the shallots to incorporate. Add the garlic, chili, and black pepper, and continue cooking for 5 more minutes.
- While the mushrooms cook, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain promptly.
- Raise the heat under the mushrooms to medium-high and pour in the wine. Let it bubble and cook for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the butter until it melts smoothly.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add ¼ cup cheese and spinach to the pan. Stir until the leaves are wilted.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss gently with the sauce. Serve in bowls with additional cheese sprinkled over the top.
Notes
For extra flavor, sauté mushrooms with soy sauce or add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice when serving.
