Creamy mushroom pasta

This easy mushroom pasta is for the evenings when we require nothing more than a scrumptious bowl of creamy pasta.

Creamy mushroom pasta ingredients

To make this mushroom pasta with cream sauce, you will need:

• Butter
• Finely chopped onion
• Garlic clove
• Plain flour
• Chestnut/shiitake mushrooms (or other type of mushrooms)
• White wine

• Parmesan (or other choice of hard cheese)
• Spaghetti (or other pasta)
• Dijon mustard (optional)
• Creme Fraiche
• Freshly chopped parsley

Creamy mushroom sauce

To make the ultimate creamy mushroom sauce, you will first need to make a soft and silky white sauce.

This requires 5 minutes of patience to slowly combine butter, flour and milk, and gently cook until thick and creamy. Making this sauce extra special and full of flavour requires some key ingredients, which pair fantastically well with the chestnut mushrooms.

The first is a few good glugs of white wine, which creates an incredible scent of pears and apples as soon as it hits the hot pan. Cook the wine gently for a few minutes to allow the alcohol to burn off before the milk is added.

Towards the end of cooking, the parmesan, dijon mustard and creme fraiche are stirred into the sauce to ensure a full flavoured, creamy and satisfying finish to the dish. White wine cream sauce adds so much flavour to this mushroom pasta recipe.

1. In large pan melt butter and fry garlic and onions until soft.
2. Then add the mushrooms and cook for further 2 minutes
3. Add flour and stir in before adding a splash of white wine and the gradually adding milk. Stir until the white wine cream sauce starts to to thicken
4. Next add parmesan, dijon mustard, creme fraiche and seasoning to the sauce and stir in well.
5. Finally add cooked spaghetti and stir to coat in the sauce, then top with extra parmesan and fresh parsley.

Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 15 g Butter
• ▢ 1 Onion finely chopped 100g
• ▢ 1 Garlic clove finely chopped
• ▢ 2 tablespoon Plain flour
• ▢ 300 g Chestnut/shiitake mushrooms or other type of mushrooms
• ▢ 100 ml White wine
• ▢ 300 ml semi skimmed milk
• ▢ 30 g Grated parmesan or other choice of hard cheese
• ▢ 300 g Uncooked Spaghetti 580g cooked
• ▢ 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Creme Fraiche
• ▢ 30 g Freshly chopped parsley handful

Instructions

 

• In large pan melt butter and gently fry garlic and onions until soft. Add mushrooms and stir fry for further 2 minutes or until just starting to soften.
  
• Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir in well. Some flour may start to stick to the base of the pan at this point.
• Next add the wine and scrape up any bits of flour. As the wine reduces it will mix with the flour and start to thicken.
• As the wine thickens start to add the milk a little at a time whilst continually staring. The gradual additions of milk and continual stirring will prevent any lumps forming and will create a silky smooth white sauce.
  
• Once all the milk is added continue to stir and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes to ensure the flour is cooked out and the sauce is fully thickened.
• Next add parmesan, dijon mustard, creme fraiche and seasoning to the sauce and stir in well.
  
• Finally add cooked spaghetti and stir to coat in the sauce, then top with extra parmesan and fresh parsley.
