Ingredients Needed
- 2 pheasant breasts, sliced
- 200g pasta (penne or fettuccine)
- 200g fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 100g fresh spinach
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 200ml heavy cream
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Preparation Steps
Start by cooking the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent.
Add the sliced pheasant breasts to the skillet. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pheasant from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown. Then, stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the cooked pheasant to the skillet and mix well.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together so the pasta is coated with the creamy sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serving Suggestions
This creamy mushroom and spinach pasta pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad and a glass of white wine. It’s an elegant dish that highlights the rich flavors of pheasant while offering a comforting, creamy texture.
