½ cup Asiago cheese, or Manchego or Monterey Jack (powdered or shredded)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Using a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Proceed to sauté the mushrooms, onion, and garlic until they release their aroma.
Include the spinach and tomatoes to the skillet, stirring occasionally while cooking. Once done, transfer the mixture to a warm area.
In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Gradually whisk in the flour to create a roux.
Pour in the cream and increase the heat to bring it to a simmer. To achieve the desired consistency, you may incorporate water or your preferred stock while stirring continuously.
As the mixture thickens, continue whisking and add salt and pepper to season. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Add the cooked pasta and sautéed veggies to the saucepan. Mix thoroughly and serve promptly.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients whenever possible for optimal flavor.
Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your preference.
Add a splash of white wine or lemon juice for an extra kick of flavor.
To make the dish healthier, consider using low-fat milk or cream and reducing the amount of cheese.
Experiment with different types of cheese for a unique twist on the classic recipe.
Serve the pasta primavera with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
