Cooked in a one-pot pasta dish, this creamy mushroom sauce covers all noodle strands.
It’s a simple pasta dish that the whole family can enjoy, especially if you don’t want meat for dinner.
Adding mushrooms to your diet is an excellent way to increase plant-based protein intake. Everything tastes better when it has a hint of umami from mushrooms.
Light whipping cream was used in the sauce because I favor lighter pasta meals. To ensure that every bite of spaghetti is dripping with stringy Parmesan cheese, combine cream and chicken stock and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Delicious and light, the mushroom sauce is creamy and buttery. With a few handfuls of baby spinach, you’ll create the most amazing one-pot mushroom pasta for your family.
Everyone will be amazed by my creamy mushroom pasta recipe if they give it a try.
