Ingredients
- 10 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti pasta (or replace with Lentil pasta)
- 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 – 8 oz. packages of cremini mushrooms
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 2 Tbsp. white Miso
- 4 cups fresh baby spinach (packed)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Whisk together half-and-half, miso and 3/4 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water in a small bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium; add the half-and-half mixture to the mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the miso breaks down, about 1 minute. Add spinach and Parmesan; cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce slightly thickens and the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Add the pasta; toss gently to coat, adding more reserved cooking water if needed to reach desired consistency. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
