Ingredients

Method

1.Bring a medium-sized saucepan of well-salted water to the boil. Pour the pasta in and cook until al dente. Drain well, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.
2.Melt the butter with the oil in a heavy-based pan. Sauté the mushrooms until caramelised. Do this in batches so that the mushrooms don’t stew. Return all the mushrooms to the pan and add the garlic and balsamic vinegar. Add the wine and cook until it has almost evaporated.
3.Add the blanched spinach to the mushrooms and pour in the cream, simmering for a few minutes until it thickens. Add the pasta and toss, topping with Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
  • When frying mushrooms, they initially release their juices, but keep cooking as they will slurp it back up again and caramelise.
