Preparation
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat butter and oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown and soft (5-10 minutes), allowing them to cook down and reduce in size.
Step 3
Add garlic and white wine to the mushrooms, allowing it to sizzle, then give it a few good stirs. Add whipping cream and salt.
Step 4
In a large pot, toss the pasta with the mushroom sauce. Add some or all of the broth if more sauciness is desired.
Step 5
While the pasta is still warm, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Just before serving, stir in the spinach and goat cheese or top each serving with goat cheese.
