How to Make Creamy Shrimp And Spinach Pasta

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes, or until browned.
  3. Add onion and sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  5. Stir in chicken broth and white wine. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, for 8 minutes, or until the mixture slightly thickens.
  6. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in softened cream cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  7. Add cooked shrimp and cook until heated through (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. Add the cooked pasta and spinach to the skillet. Toss to combine until spinach wilts.
  9. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
