Ingredients
- 1½ cup heavy cream divided
- 3 tbsp butter divided
- Sea Salt and Freshly Cracked Pepper to taste
- Pinch of fresh nutmeg grated
- 5 oz baby cremini mushrooms cleaned
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 9 oz fettuccine cooked just shy of al dente
- ¾ cup fresh parmesan finely grated
Instructions
- Prepare the cream sauce by heating one cup of the heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it simmers.
- Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring often, until reduced to about ⅔ cup.
- Remove from the heat and add the remaining ½ cup heavy cream.
- Stir to combine, then season with a bit of sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, along with a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Prepare the vegetables while the cream is simmering by heating the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then toss and continue to cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the spinach and minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside until needed.
- Prepare the pasta while the cream is reducing by cooking the fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water per package instructions until just shy of al dente. Drain, reserving ¼cup of pasta water.
- Finish the recipe by returning the cream mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low, then add the drained pasta and the parmesan cheese.
- Cook over low heat, tossing the pasta with tongs to combine until the cheese is melted, the sauce has coated the pasta, and the pasta is al dente, 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the reserved cooking water, if needed.
- Add the mushroom & spinach mixture; stir to combine.
- Set aside to allow to thicken for 1-2 minutes.
- Toss again, then serve in warmed bowls so the sauce stays nice and creamy.
- Season with more sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, if desired. Enjoy.
