This parmesan spinach mushroom pasta skillet is super quick and impossible to mess up - The ultimate win for vegetarian weeknight dinners!
Ingredients you need for the Parmesan Spinach Mushroom Pasta Skillet
Directions
1. To make the parmesan spinach mushroom pasta skillet: Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, according to the package instructions.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and sauté for about 3 minutes until lightly browned.
3. Add the chopped garlic and cook for about 30 seconds longer. Then deglaze with a bit of vegetable broth. Reduce the heat and cook for about 1-2 minutes longer. Remove mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
5. Once the pasta is ready, pour off the cooking water. Push spinach on the side in the skillet and add mushroom back, then put drained pasta in the pan and toss to combine. Add parmesan and Italian seasoning and give a quick stir. Serve the parmesan spinach mushroom pasta with red chili pepper flakes and more parmesan, if you like. Enjoy!

What to add to pasta to make it more interesting?
If you’re looking for ways to make your pasta dinner more interesting, you can add plenty of things to spruce it up.
To start, go beyond your standard tomato sauce and mix it with creamy alfredo, pesto, or a light olive oil sauce. You can add fresh herbs such as basil, oregano, or parsley to give your pasta a unique flavor. To add a bit of zest, try topping it with crumbled feta cheese or grated parmesan. And for the adventurous, why not add fresh vegetables such as peppers, spinach, or mushrooms? Add some diced chicken, salmon, shrimp, or even some Italian sausage to complete the dish.
With just a few simple additions, you can turn a dull plate of pasta into a truly delicious pasta dinner.
