One pot meals are my favorite! Some days I flat-out don't want to cook anything because I just don't have energy to clean up the dishes after. This recipe makes it easy to cook a wholesome meal using just one pot. I've added veggies to it because my kids love spinach and mushrooms right now! I know that's not the case for everyone so you can either chop the spinach in small pieces or leave it out. They will love it regardless. Change up your mac and cheese game and make this one pot mushroom pasta dish today!
Here's what it looks like without the spinach!
I've never seen organic white sauce at the grocery and this you can make all organic if that's up your alley. Change up your mac and cheese game with this one pot mushroom pasta recipe! My kiddos absolutely love this and it's the first time my son gave mushroom a chance. He accidentally ate one thinking it was chicken and said, "Wow mom, this is good!"
In a large pot or dutch oven, under medium high heat, you'll need to add the butter and cook the chicken until golden brown. Once brown (ps try not to overcook it or it will turn out dry.)
Add the olive oil and cook the garlic, and mushrooms until tender. Add in the flour and cook for another minute.
You'll then need to mix in the chicken broth, half and half, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and mix until well combined.
Add the linguine and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until pasta is cooked. If you like it al dante remove from heat earlier.
Turn off the heat add the Parmesan cheese and spinach and stir until the spinach starts to wilt. Serve immediately.
And that's all! So good and delicious!
