Instructions

  • Add the butter, salt, pepper, garlic, spinach, nutmeg and continue sautéing until the spinach has wilted.
  • Lower the heat to medium, add the cream cheese, heavy cream, broth and a little more salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Add the parsley and remove the pan from the heat.
  • Pour the pasta into an ovenproof dish and pour the mushroom sauce over it.
  • Sprinkle over the grated mozzarella cheese and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes.

Notes

Chef’s tip: Do not allow the sauce to reduce too much as you will need plenty to pour over the pasta.
