How to Make Golden Mushroom Pasta

Follow this step-by-step guide to make a dish that will become one of your favorite mushroom recipes. Here’s how you do it.

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the cooked pasta and set it aside.

Prepare the Mushrooms

While the pasta is cooking, clean the mushrooms. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and dried herbs to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Make the Cream Sauce

Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Stir in half of the grated cheese and continue to simmer until the cheese is fully melted.

Combine the Pasta and Sauce

Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the mushroom cream sauce. Toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the creamy mushroom sauce.

Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the pasta to heat through.

Garnish and Serve

Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh parsley over the pasta and give it a final gentle toss.

Serve the golden mushroom pasta hot, garnished with the remaining Parmesan cheese and some extra fresh parsley, if desired.
