Tuscan Butter Mushrooms

on

 I made these, first, as a side dish.  While we were eating, we thought it would be great as a pasta sauce!  Now, we eat this, on pasta!



INGREDIENTS
4 tbsp. 

butter

2 

cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp. 

tomato paste

1 lb. 

baby bella mushrooms, cleaned

1 c. 

cherry tomatoes, halved

3/4 c. 

heavy cream

1/4 c. 

freshly grated Parmesan

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

3 c. 

spinach

Thinly sliced basil, for garnish

DIRECTIONS
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add mushrooms and tomatoes and cook until mushrooms are tender and tomatoes are starting to burst, 5 minutes. 
  2. Add heavy cream and Parmesan and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, then bring to a simmer. Add spinach and cook until sauce is thickened and spinach is wilted, 5 minutes. 
  3. Garnish with basil before serving.
