Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Drain and return linguine to the same pot, off heat.
Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot. Thinly slice mushrooms. Rough chop spinach.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then swirl the pan until melted. Add shallots. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 2-3 min. Add mushrooms and 1/4 tsp garlic salt (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to soften, 2-3 min. Add soy sauce. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are tender, 2-3 min. Season with pepper.
Reduce heat to medium. Stir cream cheese into mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring often, until cream cheese melts, 1-2 min. Add cream. Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Add spinach. Stir until wilted, 1-2 min. Season with 1/4 tsp garlic salt (dbl for 4 ppl) and pepper.
Pour mushroom Alfredo sauce into the pot with linguine, then toss to combine.
Divide mushroom Alfredo between bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Sprinkle chili flakes over top, if desired.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: Reviewers consistently praised the rich, creamy flavour, with many calling it a favourite; the soy sauce on the mushrooms was a highlight for some, though others found it an odd or overly salty addition.
- Ease of prep: Most found this dish quick and straightforward to pull together, though a few noted the mushroom prep took longer than expected.
- Suggestions: Use only half the cream for a less soupy sauce, and consider adding a splash of pasta water or a little flour to help it thicken; some reviewers also added bacon, shrimp, or chicken to boost the protein and flavour.
- Leftovers: Several reviewers noted generous portions with enough for lunch the next day, though some found the sauce became oily or greasy when reheated.
- Customisation: Reviewers enjoyed swapping in penne or spaghettini, adding cherry tomatoes for brightness, or stirring in white wine or miso for extra depth.
