Add to a shopping listHow the shopping list works →- Step 1
Cook the pasta according to packet instructions in salted boiling water. Reserve about 100ml of the pasta water before draining.
- Step 2
While the pasta cooks, slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic.
- Step 3
Toast the walnuts in a dry frying pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
- Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and any liquid has evaporated.
- Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Step 6
Pour in the vegetable stock and let it bubble and reduce slightly for 1-2 minutes.
- Step 7
Stir in the double cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Step 8
Add the spinach to the pan and stir until it wilts.
- Step 9
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water.
- Step 10
Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. If needed, add a splash more pasta water to loosen the sauce.
- Step 11
Serve the pasta immediately, topped with the toasted walnuts.
