Add the fresh spinach to the same skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the cooked pasta and mushrooms to the skillet with the spinach. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and Italian seasoning. Toss well to combine.
