How do you make creamy mushroom sauce from scratch?

To make the creamy sauce for the mushroom pasta recipe, just start by adding butter to the pan, then add flour to the pan and saute till the raw smell of flour is gone.

Then add stock to the pan, add italian seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper powder, lemon juice and mix till smooth, to make the sauce perfect.

Bring down the heat, add cream and parmesan and keep stirring to make the sauce smooth. Let the sauce simmer till the cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.


What kind of cream is used for pasta?

Heavy whipping cream is what you have to use to make delicious creamy pasta sauce ina ddition to parmesan.


How do you thicken mushroom pasta?

To thicken the pasta, you mostly do not need to worry much as normally pasta drinks the sauce.

But in case you ended making lot of sauce to pasta ratio in the dish then , add some extra heavy cream and simmer for a while. Also, add cornstarch or flour slurry to the sauce and simmer till the sauce is smooth and thick.


Why did the sauce split? How can I fix this?


Normally the sauce which involves cream or milk splits when either of the ingredients are not at room temperature.

Always make sure when making a sauce with cream or milk, then the cream and milk should be at room temperature. If you add chilled or cold milk or cream to the saucepan and start cooking then there are more chances that the sauce will split.

Also after adding milk or cream to sauce always simmer the sauce and do not bring it boil.

If the sauce is split then to quick fix it bring the heat to sim/lowest heat, add some stock/broth and mix vigorously till the sauce is smooth. Further you can add some extra cheese to get that smoothness.

Pro Tips to make this pasta:

  • To make the pasta saucier you can add a little more broth or add milk to add that extra bath of sauce to the pasta.
  • Use protein in this dish of your choice. Add chicken, salmon, eggs, shrimp as per your preference.
  • Adding vegetables of your choice can be amazing too. Add broccoli, spinach, peas, bell peppers to this pasta to make it more interesting.
  • Cook the pasta till al dente. Do not overcook the pasta or keep it undercooked too.
  • You can replace the pasta with pasta of your choice in this recipe.
  • You can make the recipe extra delicious by adding butter along with oil when sautéing the mushrooms and vegetables.
  • Mushrooms can be used as per the availability. I have used white mushrooms, you can go for fresh shitake, cremini ,or swiss brown.
  • Grate fresh parmesan in the recipe and try to avoid store-bought grated or powdered parmesan. Freshly grated parmesan always gives the best taste.
