A quick and simple pasta dish, great for a mid-week meal. The dried pasta could easily be subsituted for fresh pasta.
1 tbsp olive oil
bunch spring onions, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
10 button or chestnut mushrooms, finely sliced
200g fresh spinach, washed
1 tbsp plain flour
1 x 200ml7fl oz tub crème fraîche
salt and freshly ground black pepper
300g/10½oz dried tagliatelle
Heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the spring onions and garlic for a few minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Add the mushrooms and fry over a high heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the water has evaporated. Tip the spinach into the pan, and stir regularly as it wilts. Continue cooking over a medium heat until most of the water has evaporated.
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, stir it in well, then cook for a further minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the crème fraîche. Return the pan to the heat, bring to the boil, and simmer for a few minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water, according to packet instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta, and toss with the mushroom and spinach sauce. Serve immediately.
