As
you all know nothing makes me happier than simple hearty pasta for supper.
This
dish is fast and delicious!
I
really could eat pasta every day!
What
you need,
3
cups uncooked wagon wheel pasta
1¼
cups half and half
2
tbsp. all-purpose flour
1
tsp. salt
½
tsp. pepper
¼
tsp. ground nutmeg
1
tbsp. butter
1
can (14.5oz) diced tomatoes, well drained
1
cup sliced mushrooms
2
heaping cups baby spinach
2
heaping cups baby kale
¼
cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese + more for serving
In
a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta as directed. Drain and set
aside.
Meanwhile
in a large skillet over medium high heat melt the butter.
Toss
in the mushrooms and let them cook for 3-4 minutes until just starting to
soften.
Stir
in the spinach and kale and cook for 1-2 minutes until it just starts to wilt.
Stir
in the drained tomatoes cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through.
In
a small bowl whisk together ¼ cup of the cream with the flour, salt, pepper and
nutmeg.
Add
the pasta to the pan and stir to combine. Add in the cream/flour mixture. Cook
for a minute or two until it starts to thicken. Then stir in the remaining 1
cup of cream.
Cook
until the sauce is thickened and coats the pasta.
Stir
in the Parmesan cheese.
Top
with more cheese to serve.
This
pasta was so great, creamy but not too rich, and the fresh spinach and kale
taste amazing!
