Instructions
Cook the pasta
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook spaghetti until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Sauté mushrooms
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add garlic and spinach
Stir in minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute. Add fresh spinach and sauté until wilted.
Make the sauce
Pour in vegetable broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, then add Parmesan cheese and mix until melted.
Combine pasta and sauce
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Serve
Top with salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and garnish with parsley and toasted pine nuts before serving.
