    Mushroom and Spinach Pappardelle - anย elegant dish loaded with veggies prepared in a creamy white wine sauce.

    Every year around the holidays I host a Ladies Lunch for myย small group of girlfriends who come over and enjoy good food.
    Mushroom and Spinach Pappardelle (lightened up, vegetarian)

    This year I made Mushroom and Spinach Pappardelle Pasta cooked in a white wine and mascarpone cheese sauce.

    A delicious and elegant dish that is loaded with veggies, one that is bound to make any woman really happy.

    So ladies, while the guys are snacking on beer, wings, chips and guac, make this elegant dish for yourself and your girlfriends, just don't forget the wine.

    Donโ€™t be surprised if the guys want some.ย Too bad, you're not sharing. Enjoy!

    Mushroom and Spinach Pappardelle is:

    Light, yet Creamy
    Incredibly Delicious
    Gourmet
    Earthy
    Perfect Pasta for Date Night
    Goes well with White Wine
    Romantic Meal

    Ingredients

    Pasta

    • 8 ounces pappardelle
    • Pot of water

    Sauce

    • 1 ยฝ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
    • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
    • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
    • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
    • to taste black pepper
    • to taste salt
    • ยฝ cup white wine
    • 4 ounces mascarpone cheese
    • ยผ cup reserved pasta water, use as needed to thin out sauce

    Garnish

    • ยผ cup parmesan cheese, grated
    • few chives, chopped

    Instructions

    • Start by bringing a pot of water to boil.
    • Slice the mushrooms.
    • Heat up a pan on medium heat, once hot, add extra virgin olive oil and then crushed red pepper flakes. Cook the pepper for about 10 seconds, once they start to sizzle....
    • Add the mushrooms. Stir. Let the mushrooms cook 7-8 minutes.
    • In the meantime, chop the garlic and spinach.
    • Once the water starts to boil, add the pappardelle and cook according to package directions, roughly 7-8 minutes also.
    • Once the mushrooms brown, add the garlic and spinach. Stir.
    • The spinach will cook within 2-3 minutes as you keep stirring.
    • Add the white wine.
    • Season with salt and black pepper. Cook down for a few minutes until the white wine amount reduced, but it shouldn't be completed evaporated.
    • Add the mascarpone cheese, stir around until a creamy sauce is formed.

    • Sauce is done.
    • Now add the pasta which should be al dente.
    • Toss.
    • Add reserved pasta water to thin out sauce as needed.
    • Garnish with parmesan cheese and chives.

    Notes

    * For a creamier texture, add another 2 ounces of mascarpone cheese along with ยผ cup of wine. The creamier the better, but I didn't want the additional calories.

        True. Most women I know prefer wine and pasta over beer and wings... just a little fun before the game for all of us, not to be taken seriously. ๐Ÿ™‚

      I love the combination of spinach, mushroom and cheese in my pasta. I generally use cream cheese, but will try with mascarpone next time.

      I saw this on Nishaโ€™s Instagram and had to make it and WOW, it turned out amazing!! I didnโ€™t have the cheese so used what I had at home to add the creaminess and it still turned out great and was a hit! I also added some fresh basil and a pinch of nutmeg. Overall, the recipe was an absolute hit and Iโ€™ll definitely be making it again. Thank you Nisha!
