Instructions

  1. Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach. Peel, then mince shallot. Peel, then mince or grate half the garlic. Thinly slice remaining garlic. Roughly chop mushrooms.
  2. Add 3 tbsp oil and garlic slices to a small pot. Heat over high heat. Cook, stirring often, until garlic slices turn golden brown, 4-5 min. (NOTE: Keep an eye on the garlic so it doesn't burn!)Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic chips to a paper towel-lined plate. Set aside. Reserve 1 tbsp garlic oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Carefully discard remaining.
  3. Meanwhile, add spaghetti to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return spaghetti to the same pot, off heat. Set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add reserved garlic oil and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then shallots, minced garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms soften, 4-5 min.
  5. Add cooking wine to the pan with mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add Cream Sauce Spice Blend and cream. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Add mushroom sauce, reserved pasta water, Parmesan and spinach to the large pot with spaghetti. Toss to coat until spinach wilts, 1 min.
  6. Divide creamy mushroom spaghetti between plates. Sprinkle garlic chips over top. Tear basil over top.
