When you’re in a pinch, here’s a super quick and delicious recipe that everyone will love…
Serves: 4
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 500g spaghetti
- 125g spinach (around 3 large handfuls)
- 250g mushrooms (one punnet)
- 1 large red onion
- large bunch of fresh parsley, rough chopped (reserve the stalks)
- 1tbsp lemon juice
- unsalted butter, knob of (around 2tbsp)
- 225ml reserved pasta water
- salt and pepper
- chilli flakes, for sprinkling
- olive oil, 3tbsp
- parmesan, grated
Method
- Boil some water for the pasta and salt it well — it should taste like the sea — add the pasta and cook for a minute less than recommended as it’ll cook further in the pan
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat then add the onions together with a pinch of salt. Fry for 5 minutes keeping the onion in the centre of the pan to avoid catching
- Rough chop the parsley leaves, reserving the stalks. Bash the parsley stalks with the back of a knife then add them to the pan where they’ll be easy to locate and discard later
- Push the onions to one side of the pan then add some more oil, a knob of butter and the mushrooms and fry for 3 minutes without disturbing. Add the spinach and cook for a couple of minutes, or until the spinach starts to wilt. Remove the parsley stalks and discard
- The pasta should now be cooked so drain off some pasta water and add to the pan, discard the rest
- Add the pasta, parsley leaves and lemon juice to the pan and combine everything well
- Portion onto serving plates and season then add grated parmesan, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of chilli flakes. Serve immediately
