Ingredients and method

Ingredients

  • 360g Dry penne
  • 180g Baby spinach
  • 90g Grated parmesan
  • 220ml Milk
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 180g Mushrooms

Method

  1. Prep the ingredients Set out pasta, spinach, parmesan, milk, garlic and mushroom. Wash, trim, and chop garlic and mushroom before heating the pan. Rinse spinach and pat the leaves dry. Measure parmesan and milk.
  2. Cook the pasta Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the penne for the time on the packet until just tender. Scoop out 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
  3. Cook the base Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add two tablespoons of water. Cook spinach, garlic and mushroom for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until softened.
  4. Make the sauce Stir in milk and simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until slightly reduced. Keep the heat moderate so the milk does not split.
  5. Combine Fold the penne through the sauce with 2-4 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water.
  6. Finish Take the pan off the heat and stir through all the parmesan until melted.
  7. Serve Divide into bowls while it is still hot.
