We eat a lot of creamy pasta at our house, but sometimes all that richness can be too much! This lighter (but still delicious) spaghetti is a great change of pace.The pasta cooking water is full of delicious flavour from the starch. I use it instead of throwing it away.Use your favourite mushrooms! I used maitake mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms this time. For 2 servings. Recipe by Yumi`s cafe

I had spinach left from "gözleme" . I added some Parmesan cheese over spinach .

fresh and healthy....

This dish was another special request from my mother, who saw something similar being cooked on TV and asked if I could make it. She failed to record the program and didn't take any notes, though, so all she remembered was that the dish was vegetarian and had mushrooms, spinach, and sour cream. The fact that she knew so little was actually a positive, as I only had to meet a handful of requirements and could otherwise do what I wanted. So I swapped out the sour cream for creme fraiche, for extra richness. And I added shallots and garlic, because I love how they work in cream sauces. And I crisped up a few slices of prosciutto, which I served on the side to meet the vegetarian condition, but would otherwise crumble on top. In the end, the dish turned out great. And it scored points with my family, which is always a nice bonus.

This is my mother's idea, she had a bag of spinach and didn't know what to do with it so she made this. There really is no measurements, you can add as much or as little as you want of each ingredient.

Made steak for me and lamb for her had a few extra mushrooms and this was a two course home dinner. Budget win!
