Ingredients

12 oz penne pasta
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream
5 oz fresh spinach
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Method

1
Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Season with crushed red pepper, Italian seasoning, and salt.
4
Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet with the onions and mushrooms. Stir and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream until well combined. Add the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
6
Mix in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts into the sauce.
7
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
8
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with chopped fresh basil.
