Ingredients

Ingredients for One-Pot Creamy Mushroom Pasta:

  • Pasta: Fettuccine, spaghetti, or penne (gluten-free option available)
  • Mushrooms: Fresh white button mushrooms, cremini, or a mix of wild mushrooms
  • Heavy Cream: For a rich and creamy sauce
  • Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated
  • Garlic: Fresh garlic, minced
  • Onion: Finely chopped
  • Vegetable Broth: For a rich sauce base
  • Olive Oil: For sautéing the garlic, onions, and mushrooms
  • Spinach: Optional, for added nutrition and color

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot, sauté onion and garlic for 2 minutes, then add mushrooms and cook until browned (5–7 minutes).
  2. Cook the Pasta: Add pasta and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until pasta is al dente, 8–10 minutes.
  3. Make the Creamy Sauce: Reduce heat and add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce is creamy. Add more broth if necessary.
  4. Add Spinach (Optional): Stir in spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted.
  5. Finish and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Add Herbs for Extra Flavor: Fresh thyme, rosemary, or basil can elevate the flavor of your sauce.
  • Control the Creaminess: For a lighter sauce, use half-and-half or a combination of cream and milk.
  • Make It Spicy: Add red pepper flakes for an extra zing or drizzle chili oil over the pasta.
  • Meal Prep: This pasta stores well for 3 days in the fridge. Just reheat gently in a pot with a splash of water or broth.
