CREAMY SPINACH AND MUSHROOM PENNE PASTA



Creamy Spinach and Mushroom Penne Pasta image

A lacto-vegetarian pasta dish using spinach, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and cream cheese to create a thick, delectable tomato sauce. The original recipe only called for cream cheese, canned pasta sauce, spinach, pasta, and parmesan cheese. I added the mushrooms to give the sauce more substance.

  • Place a large heavy-bottom Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high heat, and add in the butter; once melted, add in the leeks and stir, cooking the leeks until soften and translucent, about 2 minutes.
  • Add in the garlic followed by a pinch or two of salt and black pepper, plus the pinch of white pepper, and stir to incorporate; once the garlic is aromatic, sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine, cooking the mixture for about 30 seconds to cook out the raw flavor of the flour.
  • Next, slowly pour in the milk, whisking all the while to avoid lumps from forming; once smooth, allow the mixture to come to a simmer and tighten up a bit for a few moments, stirring/whisking it occasionally.
  • Add in the veggie (or chicken) base along with the heavy cream, and whisk that in the blend; gently simmer for several minutes more to tighten up the cream sauce, then turn off the heat.
