Ingredients
- 300 g of linguine
- 150 g of chestnut or shittake mushrooms chopped
- 1 cup of cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup of spinach
- 4-5 tablespoon of tomato puree
- 2 garlic clove crushed
- 1 cup of heavy/double cream
- 1-2 tablespoon of vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- ¼ teaspoon Italian herbs
- A splash of olive oil
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in a pot, add a pinch of salt, and then add the linguine. Cook for 8-10 minutes until it’s still firm (al dente). Reserve about one cup of pasta water and set the pasta aside.
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant then add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Add the baby tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute on medium heat. Pour in the double cream, mix well, and season with salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar, and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes.
- Next, add the pre-cooked pasta to the sauce, stirring to combine. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to your liking.
- Stir in the spinach and let the pasta cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat.
- Once done, serve this delicious creamy mushroom and tomato pasta for dinner.
Notes
- Pasta: This recipe is versatile and works with any type of pasta, such as penne, rigatoni, or tagliatelle. Be sure not to overcook the pasta; it should remain al dente.
- Sauce: Taste the sauce as you cook and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
- Add-ins: For a cheesy flavor, feel free to add grated Parmesan to the sauce and sprinkle some on top when serving.
- Pasta Water: Reserve one cup of pasta water. This can be used to adjust the consistency of the sauce if it becomes too thick.
