Ingredients
- 8 oz fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Combine the cooked fettuccine with the sauce and toss until the pasta is well coated. Serve topped with fresh basil leaves.
