Ingredients

  • 50 g butter
  • 330 ml heavy cream 35% fat content
  • 250 g rigatoni
  • 250 g white mushrooms cut in four
  • ½ clove garlic finely chopped
  • 100 g baby spinach (or regular spinach)
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg grated
  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 200 ml vegetable broth
  • ¼ bunch parsley finely chopped
  • 160-200 g mozzarella grated
  • salt
  • pepper
  • extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200° C/390° F Fan.
  • Place a large pan over high heat and allow to get very hot. Add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and the mushrooms and sauté until golden.
  • Add the butter, salt, pepper, garlic, spinach, nutmeg and continue sautéing until the spinach has wilted.
  • Lower the heat to medium, add the cream cheese, heavy cream, broth and a little more salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Add the parsley and remove the pan from the heat.
  • Pour the pasta into an ovenproof dish and pour the mushroom sauce over it.
  • Sprinkle over the grated mozzarella cheese and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, cut and serve.

Notes

Chef’s tip: Do not allow the sauce to reduce too much as you will need plenty to pour over the pasta.
