Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz pasta pick your favorite
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms
  • ½ C white wine
  • 1 head broccoli cut into small florets
  • 1 C heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 C baby spinach
  • ¾ C parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • hot pepper flakes optional
  • toasted hazelnuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned.
  • Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it has reduced by half.
  • Add the broccoli florets and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are tender.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and lemon zest and stir until the sauce is heated through.
  • Add the baby spinach and stir until it wilts.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss again.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like your pasta spicy, sprinkle some hot pepper flakes on top.
  • Sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts, if desired.
