  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and roughly chopped 🌿
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes for a hint of heat (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cook Pasta:
  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  1. Caramelize Onions:
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. This may take about 15-20 minutes.

  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and any released liquid has evaporated.

  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
  1. Prepare Creamy Sauce:
  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
  1. Season to Taste:
  • Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. If you like a hint of heat, add red pepper flakes at this stage.
  1. Combine with Pasta:
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce and mixed with the vegetables.
  1. Serve Hot:
