Mushrooms, cream, and pasta are three magic words to me. I love mushrooms. They are one of my favorite vegetables. Plus, they are especially delicious if you includ with pasta in a creamy sauce. That is exactly what this mushroom Florentine pasta is.
Liguine is the pasta of choice for this dish. It works so well to hold that creamy sauce. The sauce is comprised of flour, chicken broth, milk, salt, pepper, garlic, and gruyere cheese. If you can’t get your hands on some gruyere, some gouda will work as a substitution. these cheese just ups the flavor to the sauce.
You cook the mushrooms until tender in olive oil. There is also fresh spinach added at the very end to the sauce. It wilts down and is tossed with the pasta al dente.
My husband and daughter aren’t mushroom fans. So I just served the past up for them with out the mushrooms. Then that meant more mushrooms for me, even better! This mushroom florentine pasta is a delicious spring meal.
