1 pound pasta, such as Tuscanini Penne Pasta
3 tablespoons butter
8 ounces baby bella or cremini mushrooms, chopped
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
pinch of salt
5 ounces baby spinach
2 cloves garlic, minced or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

Add garlic and pepper, and sauté an additional two minutes
Add the flour, mixing to incorporate. Add the milk half a cup at a time, stirring frequently as the sauce thickens.
Stir in the cheese. Once melted, add the sage and nutmeg.
Drain the cooked pasta and return to the pot.
