Mushroom Florentine Linguini



What you need,

3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup half & half
½ tsp. seasoning salt
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 tbsp. olive oil
8 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ grated Gruyere Cheese
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
½ lb. linguine noodles

Cook the linguine noodles according to the package directions.

While the noodles are cooking heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and cooked down.

In a bowl whisk together the flour, chicken broth and milk. Season with salt and pepper, I used about ½ teaspoon of each.

Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook 1 minute. 
Stir in the flour mixture and let it come to a simmer. Cook 3-4 minutes until the sauce is thickened.  Stir in the cheese until melted.

Toss in the spinach and cook for a minute or so until wilted. Taste the sauce and season with more salt and pepper if needed.

If the sauce looks a little too thick you can add a little of the pasta cooking water. 

Add the cooked noodles and toss gently to coat.

Serve right away.
