Step 1:

This recipe for pasta with spinach in cream sauce is nothing complicated. Everything you need is easy to find at a good store any time of year.
Step 2:

Slice the washed mushrooms thin. Peel the onion and cut it into half-rings. Thaw the spinach — mine is already cut into pieces.
Step 3:

Melt butter in a skillet. Add the onion and sauté it over medium heat, stirring, until soft.
Step 4:

Add the mushrooms to the onion, stir, and fry a little longer.
Step 5:

When the mixture is almost done, add the chopped spinach and wait until it wilts slightly.
Step 6:

Now pour in the cream and stir everything together thoroughly.
Step 7:

Cut the cheese into small cubes.
Step 8:

Add salt and pepper to taste — I like it on the spicier side. At the end, add the cheese. Stir everything well and let the sauce rest, covered.
Step 9:

Cook the spaghetti in salted water per the package directions. Be careful not to overcook it. Then drain it and let the water run off. Durum-wheat spaghetti is a good choice.
Step 10:

Toss the spaghetti with the sauce right before eating. Enjoy!

Italian food lovers will enjoy this dish. Spaghetti with mushrooms, cheese, and a creamy spinach sauce comes out incredibly tasty and filling. Serve it for lunch or dinner. It's easy on both your budget and your time, so you won't spend much effort or money pulling the ingredients together. You'll find this dish at restaurants that specialize in Italian food, but there it costs far more than making it yourself at home. And it's always nicer to eat something you made with your own hands. Your family will thank you for the effort!
