It’s the perfect quick weeknight dinner when you want something creamy, delicious, and effortless—without a pile of dishes afterward.
Add ingredients to the pan: Place the pasta, mushrooms, onion, garlic, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes into a deep sauté pan or pot. Add the cream cheese and sprinkle in Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the liquids: Pour in the cooking cream and vegetable broth, then gently stir to combine and make sure the pasta is mostly submerged.
Cook covered: Cover the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally so the pasta cooks evenly and doesn’t stick to the bottom.
