Ingredients
  

12 oz (340g) pasta (your choice: fettuccine, penne, or linguine)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

16 oz (450g) mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

1 cup vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups fresh spinach

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

    Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and have released their moisture.

      Add Broth and Pasta: Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the pasta, thyme, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the liquid.

        Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.

          Add Cream and Spinach: Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the sauce is creamy.

            Finish with Cheese: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

              Serve: Divide the creamy mushroom pasta into bowls, garnishing with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your comforting one pot dish!
