Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion finely minced, small
- 1 garlic lightly crushed, clove
- 120 g spinach organic; leaves
- 150 g white mushrooms halved, or chestnut mushrooms
- 350 g pasta
- 100 g crème fraîche I use Yeo Valley
- 2 tablespoon mild cheddar finely grated, or mature cheddar
- salt to taste, sea salt

Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water for 8 mins or until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the extra virgin olive oil, followed by the finely chopped onion, mushrooms and garlic. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, then add the spinach leaves and cover with a lid. Stir occasionally until the spinach leaves are tender, and season with salt and pepper. Discard the garlic and remove the pan from the heat.
- Drain well the spaghetti, reserving a ladleful of the pasta water.
- Transfer the spaghetti into the pan with the other ingredients. Stir in the crème fraîche, the cheese and the reserved cooking water if necessary.
- Heat through for a minute, mixing well all the ingredients. Season to taste with black pepper and serve immediately.
