Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add your favorite pasta and cook it until al dente, which takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the pasta, keeping some reserved water aside, and set it aside without rinsing.
- In a large skillet, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté them for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn a beautiful golden brown and the moisture has evaporated.
- Next, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir it frequently to prevent burning.
- Incorporate the fresh spinach into the skillet, stirring it around until it wilts down, which should take approximately 2 minutes.
- Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring constantly. Gradually mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts smoothly into the sauce.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss it gently with the sauce until all the pasta is well-coated. If the sauce appears too thick, you can add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
- Finally, taste your dish and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Serve the creamy Tuscan Mushroom Pasta Skillet hot, garnished with fresh basil.
