creamy tuscan mushrooms over pasta

 

These mushrooms were delicious!!  I think everyone in my family enjoyed them.  I served them over egg noodle nests (they're at Costco and so great!) and with zucchini on the side.  Great meal.

creamy tuscan mushrooms over pasta (this is a mash-up of two recipes I found)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic, minced

1 tablespoon tomato paste

16 ounces mushrooms, quartered

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 cup milk (I used almond milk)

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 cup fresh spinach

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

hot pasta for serving

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

When the skillet is hot, add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for a couple minutes.  Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes.  Add the black pepper.

In a small bowl combine the cornstarch and milk and stir until smooth.

Add the cornstarch and milk mixture and stir heat until the sauce thickens and the mushrooms are soft.  Add the red pepper flakes, spinach and Parmesan.  Cook until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts.  Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Serve over hot pasta.
