This oyster mushroom alfredo is super easy to make and packed with healthy veggies and proteins. Creamy, protein-rich, nutrient-dense, and absolutely delicious! This pasta is super simple and packed with fresh oyster mushrooms, tender spinach, crunchy broccoli, meaty cannellini beans, and red pepper flakes all dressed in a creamy rich Alfredo sauce. Perfect for meal prep, a cozy dinner, or when you need a healthy pick-me-up that tastes like comfort food.

It seems I am on a mission to keep cranking through all these oyster mushrooms I can’t stop growing. They are so fun to watch grow and delicious to incorporate into recipes. Hence the inspiration for tonight’s pasta that included pretty much everything I had in the fridge and pantry for a one-pot meal.

When I just want a comforting and filling meal, I usually tend to reach for a pasta box. Beans are also one of my absolute favorite things. They are rich in fiber and are filling and delicious. Combine pasta, beans, mushrooms, and some broccoli and spinach for something green, and viola, dump some Alfredo sauce on and dinner is ready in 20 minutes. I used prepared alfredo sauce here because it’s easy and cheap and I didn’t feel like trying to make my own. Jazz it up with the only spices you really need: onion powder, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, and you’re done!
