Creamy Mushroom Fettuccine
The creamiest mushroom alfredo sauce you will ever have – a sauce so good, you’ll want to slurp it with a spoon!
Did you know that parmesan cheese is known as the “King of Italian Cheese“? It is really a fine type of cheese, helping to transform any homemade dish to something truly gourmet, especially with the help of Stella® Cheese.
Now Stella Cheese® has been around since 1923, creating lasagnas, casseroles, and baked potatoes so much more richer and gooier, elevating every day meals to something so fancy and sophisticated. And even with this easy fettuccine dish, it becomes restaurant quality with all that creamy parmesan goodness, sitting in a pool of that heavenly mushroom alfredo sauce.
Except no one will ever know just how easy and simple this dish really is, made in just 30 minutes. Best of all, you can add in more veggies as needed or swap out the spinach for kale, swiss chard or even arugula. It’s up to you, and the possibilities are endless!
For more cheesy goodness, you can find Stella Cheese® on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram!
Creamy Mushroom Fettuccine
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, diced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup half and half, or more, as needed*
- 2 cups baby spinach
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, mushrooms and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in thyme and dill until fragrant, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in vegetable broth, and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in half and half until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in baby spinach and Parmesan until the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more half and half as needed.
- Stir in pasta and gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

This is the most delicious recipe! My husband loves it.
Thank you so very much!
Chung-Ah, this pasta looks outrageously good. . and LOVE your new photo!!! you look so pretty and wow, your hair is so long!!! gorgeous!!
Your posts always make me so hungry. Could literally have just finished a bowl of pasta…see this…and then suddenly I need more food. The creamy mushroom sauce on this looks delicious! 🙂 PINNED.
So excited about this recipe! Do you thinking adding grilled chicken or shrimp would be an excellent addition? Or do you think it will take away from this delicious? If so what would you suggest seasoning them with? Fresh thyme and garlic? Thanks for the post!
Adding chicken or shrimp with a simple salt and pepper seasoning would be a great addition!
What a wonderful dish…everyone loved it…thanks for making my dinners easy and delicious.
I love the cremini mushrooms in this, such a great pasta dish!
This looks great and a little lighter than the heavy and thickly creamy noodles I am used to seeing. I love that you used Cremini’s – love the texture. Will definitely give it a try!
What is the actual serving size? I do not see that posted on this website for some reason. thanks!
The serving size is not listed for my recipes as it really varies for each recipe and is nearly impossible to measure out a single serving. However, the amount of servings is always listed as a guide as to how many people the recipe should feed.
This looks like classic comfort food as well as a nice meatless meal idea as well. I like that this has a decent amount of protein and the texture of mushrooms is a nice replacement for meat.
How man6 calories is this dish? Thanks
Silvia, the nutritional information is listed below the recipe.
I like this recipe, but I have to use lactose free milk. Is there a similar cream?
I am not aware of a cream like that. It may be best to substitute lactose-free milk.
Organic valley makes a lactose free half and half… I used it and the dish came out great! Very creamy! You should be able to find it at a whole foods, sprouts, or other healthy market in your area
Yum – thanks so much and have a great weekend!
Would it be ok to use chicken broth ??
Yes, of course!
if i wanted to double recipe to one pound of pasta would i double all ingredients along with pasta?
Yes! 16 ounces = 1 pound so if you are doubling the pasta, it would be best to double the entire ingredient list.
Pasta is one of my favourite easy meals and this looks super good!
This looks like the perfect quick weeknight meal. I love all the ingredients you used, especially the spinach and parm!
What a deliciously creamy and vegetarian dish 😀 I can definitely dig it! Is it possible to use light cream instead of the half and half? I don’t think we have that here in Glasgow you see! I haven’t seen it in the shop, but want to try this 😀 x
Jules, I have never tried light cream before but there are various substitutions for half and half that are listed in the NOTES sections.
