Ingredients list for the creamy mushroom pasta
- 8 oz of uncooked pasta (we used linguine)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, grated
- 1/3 cup vegetable stock (or dry white wine)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, optional
Directions
1. To make the creamy mushroom pasta: Boil a large, pot of salted water and cook the pasta al dente according to package directions.
2. In the meantime, add butter and olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and grated garlic to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms release most of their moisture and are browned on the edges. Be careful no to burn the garlic. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the vegetable stock, oregano, lemon juice, flour, and Dijon mustard to the pan. Stir until it becomes a smooth paste.
5. Stir in the cream and let it simmer for a few minutes.
6. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the pan and give it a good stir.
7. Add the mushrooms back into the skillet and stir to combine with the pasta and cream. Reduce the heat and cook for a few more minutes until the sauce has thickened up a bit. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Sprinkle with parsley, red chili pepper flakes, and parmesan (if using). Serve the creamy mushroom pasta immediately. Enjoy! ❤️
