Creamy Mushroom, Lemon and Spinach Tagliatelle

by BBC Good Food

Make this creamy mushroom pasta dish on days when you need a big bowl of comfort. Creme fraiche, parmesan, spinach, white wine, lemon zest and tons of mushrooms make this a rich and flavourful dinner.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan. Fry the onion along with a pinch of salt over a low heat for 10 mins or until softened and translucent.

Step 2

Increase the heat and add the mushrooms and cook for 10 mins. Keep the heat high to ensure te mushrooms fry and don't boil. Add the grated garlic and cook for 2 mins. Add the wine and bring to a simmer, reduce the liquid by half.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cook the pasta following pack instructions. Once cooked, reserve a little of the pasta water.

Step 4

While the pasta cooks, add the creme fraiche and the spinach and bring to a simmer (add a lid to help the spinach to wilt), then add the lemon zest, a little squeeze of the juice and grated parmesan. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.

Step 5

Toss the drained pasta in the pan with the creamy mushroom sauce and enough of the reserved water to loosen. Stir through the parsley, if using, divide into bowls and top with extra cheese and a pinch of chilli flakes, if you like.
