Instructions
Step 1
Cook the pasta. For this dish, spaghetti, tagliattele, farfalle or penne are suitable. Boil water, add salt to it. Add the pasta and cook following the directions on the package. To prevent the paste from sticking, pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil into a saucepan. Discard the finished pasta in a colander.
Step 2
Go ahead and prepare the sauce. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet. Cut fresh champignons into slices, finely chop the garlic, frozen spinach and basil greens, chop the onion into thin rings. Place the onion and chopped mushrooms in a skillet. Fry the mixture, stirring constantly, until the onions are clear and all the liquid in the pan has evaporated.
Step 3
Reduce heat and add spinach to skillet. Stir the mixture and put the lid on the skillet. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Add chopped garlic, basil herbs, salt and freshly ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir the mixture and fry for another 5 minutes. Put the prepared pasta in the mixture and stir. Heat everything together for 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Spread the finished pasta on portioned plates or place on a large dish. Sprinkle it with freshly ground black pepper. In a mortar, crush the pistachios into coarse crumbs and sprinkle on the pasta. Decorate the dish with basil leaves.
Step 5
Try another version of the mushroom pasta. Boil the pasta, preferably a penne or tagliattele. Chop the garlic finely, chop the chanterelles into large pieces. Cut the pistachios into thin plastics or crush them in a mortar, turning into large crumbs.
Step 6
Place the mushrooms in a skillet with heated vegetable oil. Fry them until tender, stirring constantly. Pour the cream into the pan, stir, add salt and ground black pepper, and dried basil. Cook the sauce until it thickens.
Step 7
Put the pasta in a frying pan and stir. Preheat the mixture for about 5 minutes and place the finished pasta on the warmed serving bowls. Sprinkle each serving with pistachios and grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
