Instructions
Bring a pot to a boil for your pasta. When boiling, salt generously and add in your pasta and cook until 1-2 minutes under al dente. We will finish cooking in the sauce. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
In the meantime, in a separate skillet or cast iron, heat a drizzle of oil or sun-dried tomato oil (from the container) and add in your red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and let that bloom for about 1 minute.
Next, add in your mushrooms and sauté. You want your mushrooms grilled throughout, darkened and soft, but not burnt or charred. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Finish with your garlic cloves and stir.
Add in your white wine and reduce that down for about 1 minute.
Next, on medium high heat, add in your chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well until it’s all combined.
Add about 1/4 cup of pasta water to your skillet to start to create your sauce.
Add in your pasta to the skillet and mix well until all combined. Add in your butter and 1 tablespoon grated parmesan. Adjust with more pasta water as needed.
Once that’s all combined, add in your spinach and let that wild down. At this point, you can also adjust with more parmesan as you prefer.
Turn off the heat, toss in your chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Top with more parmesan, and serve!
