Tips and Substitutions

• Pasta: This mushroom tomato pasta recipe works with any pasta e.g. penne, rigatoni, tagliatelle or farfelle. Ensure you do not overcook the pasta when boiling, as it should remain al dente.
• Sauce: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to suit your taste.
• Add-ins: Feel free to add grated parmesan to the sauce for cheesy flavor and when serving.
• Pasta water: Make sure you reserve one cup of pasta water. This will help to loosen the consistency of the sauce if it is too thick.

How to Make Creamy Mushroom Tomato Pasta

1. Boil a pot of water, add a pinch of salt, then add the linguine. Cook it for 8-12 minutes and then remove it from heat. It will still be hard. It should not be cooked all the way through at this point—reserve about one cup of pasta water.
2. Heat a splash of olive oil in a medium saucepan. Then, add grated garlic to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
3. Add the mushrooms to a pan, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook for 5-7 minutes or until brown.
4. Then, add the baby tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.

5. Then add tomato paste and stir for 1 minute.
6. Pour in the double cream, stir and mix well.
7. Season the sauce with salt to taste, pepper to taste, balsalmic vinegar and Italian seasoning. Stir the mixture and leave it to simmer for up to 5-7 minutes on low heat.
8. Next, add the precooked pasta. Stir it all together and let everything cook for a few more minutes. If the mixture is too dry, add a little water to your liking to loosen the consistency.

9. Add spinach to the pasta and stir well.

10. Let the pasta cook for 2-3 minutes on low, then remove it from the stove.

11. Serve this mouth-watering creamy mushroom and tomato pasta for dinner with Gluten-Free Focaccia Bread or Tik Tok Garlic Bread in Air Fryer. You can also garnish it with basil.
