Bring to a slight boil. While waiting for milk/water to boil, mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water. Once the sauce mixture has reached a low boil, add the cornstarch mixture and turn it down to a low simmer until the sauce thickens. Next, add 2 cups of Parmigiano Reggiano to the sauce mixture. In a large serving bowl or the pasta pot, combine the fettuccini, spinach/mushrooms and sauce. Top with extra Parmigiana Reggiano.

Notes: If you can’t find baby button mushrooms, use regular white mushrooms.
If the sauce is too thick, add a tbsp of milk or water until desired thickness.
