radiatore verde & mushroom trifolati Recipe

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the radiatore pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Sauté the Mushrooms

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are browned and tender.

Add Spinach

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked radiatore pasta to the skillet with the mushroom and spinach mixture. Pour in a little reserved pasta water to create a sauce, tossing everything together until well combined.

Finish and Serve

Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
