The earthy flavors of mushrooms combined with perfectly cooked pasta create a symphony of flavors that is hard to resist. In this guide, we will take you through the steps of cooking mushroom pasta that is perfectly flavored and full of Italian delight.

What You Need:

  • 8 ounces of pasta (any type)
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 pound of mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup of vegetable broth
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Garlic and Mushrooms

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 3: Add the Broth and Cream

Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic. Bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavors. Then, add the heavy cream and stir well to combine.

Step 4: Season and Simmer

Season the mushroom mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. Let the sauce simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 5: Add the Pasta and Cheese

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it well in the mushroom sauce until fully coated. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss again to incorporate.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the mushroom pasta to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve while still warm and enjoy this delightful Italian dish.
