Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Pasta
Ingredients
- 10 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti or bucatini
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 (8 ounce) packages sliced fresh cremini mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons white miso
- 4 cups packed fresh baby spinach
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Whisk together half-and-half, miso and 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water in a small bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium; add the half-and-half mixture to the mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the miso breaks down, about 1 minute. Add spinach and Parmesan; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce slightly thickens and the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Add the pasta; toss gently to coat, adding more reserved cooking water if needed to reach desired consistency. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
