Rustic Creamy Mushroom Pasta
Buttery mushrooms, creamy béchamel sauce, whole grain farfalle and a hint of thyme make this creamy mushroom pasta an umami-packed meal ready in 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- 150 grams chanterelle mushroom
- 150 grams white mushrooms
- 15 grams porcini mushroom dried or 2 medium-sized fresh
- 200 grams whole grain farfalle pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1-2 thyme sprigs
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons flour
- 200 ml heavy cream or milk
- 50 grams Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley freshly chopped
- salt freshly ground, to taste
- black pepper freshly ground, to taste
Instructions
- Cook your pasta according to package instructions (usually for about 12 minutes).
- Rinse the mushrooms well until all dirt is gone. If you are using dried porcini mushrooms, soak them in water for 15 minutes before you are ready to cook and use the soaking water for boiling your pasta to give it an extra flavor.
- Cut chanterelles in halves, slice white mushrooms and porcini (if using fresh ones. The dried ones are usually pre-sliced). Heat a tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat and sautée the mushrooms with sprigs of thyme and minced garlic until golden brown *about 5 minutes).
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan and add flour. Stirring constantly, add cream or milk and cook until thickened, for about 3 minutes, adding grated parmesan, salt and black pepper in the end. Combine pasta, mushrooms and the béchamel sauce in one pan and add a bit of chopped parley. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days.
