  • 1/2 Onion

Instructions

  • Start by cooking your pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Cook till pasta is al dente. While the pasta is cooking, proceed with making the creamed spinach.
  • Heat up the olive oil in a skillet. Add the butter to the skillet.
  • Saute the mushrooms for 3-5 minutes till softened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the minced onions and garlic and saute for 1 minute to cook out the raw onion and garlic flavor. Add the jalapenos and cherry tomatoes and saute for an additional 1 minute.
  • Add the heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously. Simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste
  • Add the shredded cheese mix to the skillet. Stir till the cheese melts and is fully incorporated into the sauce.
  • Drain and add the pasta to the skillet and stir thoroughly till every piece of pasta is coated with that delicious cheesy sauce.
  • Add the spinach and stir till the spinach wilts. There's no need to cook the spinach, just a cook till it wilts.
  • Serve hot and enjoy! Oh, and feel free to add some extra shavings of parmesan cheese 🙂
