We have got meatless Monday covered! This Spinach Mushroom Parmesan Pasta is ready in under 30 minutes and perfect for any vegetarian in the family. It’s filling and packed full of veggies! The farfalle or “bowtie” pasta pairs perfectly with the sautéed mushrooms and spinach. The parmesan cheese and broth emulsify to create a creamy savoury sauce.
You can make this recipe your own by adding additional veggies or aromatics like onions and bell peppers.
Ingredients:
- 14 oz farfalle pasta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- Fresh cracked pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp red chili pepper flakes, optional
Tips & Tricks:
- Mushrooms: Button mushrooms are the best options for this recipe in terms of simplicity. You can save some time and buy the mushrooms pre-sliced. I don’t recommend this though as the mushrooms are much dryer. Canned mushrooms will also work in this recipe.
- Spinach: If you don’t like spinach try substituting in kale. It will take a few extra minutes to wilt on the stove though.
- Chili Flakes: Chili flakes are completely optional but I highly recommend adding a tbsp to the dish for a spicy pop. Adjust according to your taste.
- Storage: You can keep leftovers in your fridge for up to a week. When reheating add a splash of olive oil, the pasta will likely have absorbed all the remaining sauce while in the fridge. We do not recommend freezing this recipe, it will result in a very dry pasta.
