Mushroom pasta with spinach, lemon, pine nuts and parsley

Now is the time when the forests are full of mushrooms of all kinds. My personal favorites are the yellow chanterelles, and I love to put them on bread, use them to make a mushroom sauce to serve with oven roasted potatoes, and of course – to serve them with pasta. 

This particular recipe has been a personal favorite for several years now. I actually posted the recipe on the blog a few years ago, but I felt it needed an update with some new photos. We eat this a lot in our house, and everyone loves it. I hope you’ll like it too!
