Mushroom Florentine Linguini

I am always on the hunt for a quick and delicious weeknight dinner. When I pinned this one the other day I knew it would be a winner.

I was so right, the sauce is creamy and smooth which is always awesome. The earthy mushrooms and the spinach go so well with the tangy gruyere cheese.  

I added a big green salad on the side and it was the perfect weeknight dinner!

What you need,

3 tbsp. all-purpose flour

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup half & half

½ tsp. seasoning salt

Salt & Pepper to taste

2 tbsp. olive oil

8 oz. button mushrooms, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

¾ grated Gruyere Cheese

2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

½ lb. linguini noodles

Cook the linguini noodles according to the package directions.

While the noodles are cooking heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and cooked down.

In a bowl whisk together the flour, chicken broth and milk. Season with salt and pepper, I used about ½ teaspoon of each.

Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook 1 minute. 

Stir in the flour mixture and let it come to a simmer. Cook 3-4 minutes until the sauce is thickened.  Stir in the cheese until melted.

Toss in the spinach and cook for a minute or so until wilted. Taste the sauce and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

If the sauce looks a little too thick you can add a little of the pasta cooking water. 

Add the cooked noodles and toss gently to coat.

Serve right away.

I can’t say enough good things about this recipe. It was super easy, it only took 20 minutes start to finish and it tasted seriously good!

I will be making this one again soon for sure.

Enjoy!
