Ingredients
- 12 oz rotini

- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Method
Boil the rotini in salted water and reserve a cup of the water before draining.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the sliced mushrooms in one layer and leave them alone for 4 minutes so they brown, then stir and cook 4 minutes more.
Add the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook 1 minute.
Pour in the cream and simmer 3 minutes.
Add the spinach and stir until wilted, then the drained pasta and the Parmesan.
Loosen with pasta water until glossy and serve right away.
