My daughter and I love making recipes that use good, wholesome ingredients. She created this recipe so that we could share it with you guys. What is not to love about mushrooms, pasta, and a cream sauce that is out of this world?
How to Make Creamy Mushroom Pasta
To make this recipe, first off you are going to need mushrooms. For our recipe, we used Lion's Mane Mushrooms and pan-fried it as we did in my original recipe.
You can use any mushroom you want, but these mushrooms are perfect for this recipe because they are hearty and hold up well in sauces and pasta dishes.
Other items in this recipe are wine, pasta, heavy cream, lemon, Parmesan, shallot, and my favorite — garlic!
The majority of these items came from one of our local businesses — Harvest Crate. They are working their butts off bringing all the delicious farms foods to our table without us having to visit each farm. It's a way that I get to buy from all of my favorite farms without ever having to leave my house! They make it easy for me to eat good, wholesome foods.
Cook your pasta according to directions. Remove from the water and set it aside.
Start by chopping up your mushrooms. In a skillet, add some olive oil and once it is heated, add the mushrooms. Cook them until they are nice and golden brown.
Remove from the pan and set them aside.
Dice up the shallot and add a little olive oil back to the pan. Add the shallot and cook for a couple of minutes. Now, mince up the garlic and add it to the pan with the shallots.
Add one cup of wine into the skillet and allow it to deglaze the pan. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Now, add in one cup of heavy cream. Allow it to cook for a minute or so. Add in the zest of one lemon and the juice also. Mix together.
Add the pasta and stir until well combined. Then, top with one cup of Parmesan cheese. Mix together again and add in the mushrooms.
Serve with your favorite crusty brown bread or a delicious salad to boot.
