Quick Mushroom Pasta Sauce Recipe

Italian · Main course · 20 min total

A rich and savory mushroom pasta sauce that comes together in just 20 minutes, perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup dry white wine or vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and most liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in wine or broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Toss with cooked pasta and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and omit Parmesan or use a vegan alternative.
• This sauce also works well with whole wheat or gluten-free pasta.
• Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
