​I know. I do a lot of cream sauces.

But guys.

I haven’t done a mushroom cream sauce just yet.

I mean. How has it taken me this long?

With garlicky mushrooms, plenty of butter and two types of cheeses, you can’t go wrong here.

You just can’t.

And now I think all cream sauces should just be replaced with this mushroom version.

Come to think of it, I could, no wait, I should probably make a soup out of this.

With a side of crusty bread, of course.

But I guess the pasta drowning in the cream sauce isn’t the worst thing in the world, right?

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable broth, or more, as needed
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese*
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 5-6 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in vegetable broth, rosemary, thyme and basil. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, goat cheese and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more vegetable broth as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Stir in pasta and gently toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.

Notes

*Ricotta, cream cheese or mascarpone can be substituted.
