Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 lb. baby bella mushrooms, cleaned
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 cups spinach
  • Thinly sliced basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant to enhance the aromatic base of the dish.
  2. Cook mushrooms and tomatoes: Add the cleaned baby bella mushrooms and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook them together for approximately 5 minutes until the mushrooms become tender and the tomatoes start to burst, releasing their juices.
  3. Add cream and cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Season with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Stir and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Incorporate spinach and thicken sauce: Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking for another 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the spinach wilts, combining all flavors harmoniously.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish the dish generously with thinly sliced fresh basil before serving. Enjoy warm as a side or a main vegetarian dish.

  • Use fresh baby bella mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over pasta for a satisfying meal.
  • This dish can be made gluten-free by ensuring the tomato paste and Parmesan are gluten-free certified.
