How to make One-Pan Mushroom Spinach Pasta
Tips from the cook
- Use a wide, deep pan so the pasta cooks evenly without clumping, and slice the mushrooms thin so they cook fast.
- For a richer sauce, add a little more cream cheese or a splash of full-fat cream.
- Add cooked chicken, shrimp or crispy bacon, or zucchini, broccoli, peas or peppers.
- Parsley or basil at the end brightens it.
