Pasta in Mushroom Butter Garlic Sauce

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Pasta in Mushroom Butter Garlic Sauce - Pasta tossed in delicious browned butter garlic sauce with mushrooms and Italian herbs.Super Quick and Easy,30 minute recipe.

This 15 minute Pasta recipe is amazhing!

I should probably call it ANY pasta in ANYTHING butter sauce instead of Pasta in Mushroom Butter Garlic Sauce .Really.

You can substitute the mushroom for anything- broccoli,cherry tomatoes, zuchinni, corn, peas, ham, bacon, chicken, chorizo, left over kebab..okay that is probably a stretch but it might just work!

I ALWAYS have dried pasta and butter in the pantry which is really all you need to make this delicious pasta.It's so so comforting and so much BETTER than ANY take out..not only in terms of calories but in terms of quality and taste!

Pasta in Mushroom Butter Garlic Sauce - Easy Weeknight Pasta dinner made with Butter, Olive Oil, garlic, herbs , pasta and parmesan Cheese.

It's quite simple to make, which makes it so easy to put together on a hurried night when I don't have the brain space to fight with my toddler about dinner.

Mushroom sautéed in butter and garlic, tossed with spaghetti.That's it.That's literally the synopsis of this recipe. Off course adding a few curls of parmesan does everybody a lot of good too.

How to make Pasta in Mushroom Butter Garlic Sauce

Step 1- Boil the pasta with salt as per the packet instructions.

Step 2- In a pan, add butter and olive oil.Add Garlic & herbs.

Step 3- Add Mushrooms and brown them.

Step 4- Add the cooked pasta with little pasta water.Give it a mix.

Step 5- Top with parmesan cheese and serve!

Pro Tips

  • Equipment used - Lodge Cast iron skillet.I find using the cast iron pan especially useful for recipes where caramelisation of ingredients is central to the recipe.You can read the review of lodge cast iron pan here.
  • Healthier version- The recipe can be made healthier by swapping whole wheat pasta with regular pasta.Add more veggies and reduce the amount of butter.
  • Different Pasta types- I use all kinds of pasta for this sauce.Our house favourites is penne especially with my son cause its easier to eat.

Also! if you are looking to make an amazing veggie loaded pasta sauce, try my roasted tomato & red pepper sauce and our recent fav- truffle mushroom pasta. It is mind blowing!

    I just made your recipe and it is wonderful! I'm having it without cheese and my seasonings included Rosemary. I added a little white vermouth (about a tablespoon.) I bet it would be great with Herbes de Provence for a French twist as an alternate to the Italian flavoring.
