How to make Creamy Mushroom Pasta
Creamy mushroom pasta is the kind of dinner that feels generous without being complicated. The mushrooms turn deeply savory, the sauce stays silky, and the whole dish comes together quickly enough for a busy evening.
- 1Cook the pasta until al dente and reserve a little pasta water.
- 2Soften the shallot in olive oil until fragrant.
- 3Add the mushrooms and cook until well browned, then stir in the garlic.
- 4Pour in the cream and parmesan and stir until smooth.
- 5Add the pasta and enough pasta water to make the sauce glossy.
- 6Finish with parsley and extra parmesan.
Tips for the best result
- Cook the mushrooms without crowding the pan if you want more colour.
- Finish with parsley to add a fresh note to the rich sauce.
Storage and make-ahead tips
- Keep leftovers chilled for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently with a splash of water, milk, or stock.
