Creating the Creamy Tuscan Mushroom Pasta Skillet is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
4. Pour in the Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
5. Stir in the Cream: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine, allowing the sauce to thicken for another 2-3 minutes.

7. Add the Spinach: Toss in the fresh spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted.
8. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is coated in the creamy sauce.
9. Finish with Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well incorporated.
