Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 8 oz pasta fettuccine or egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing and flavor
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine or egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water for later.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until they become translucent and soft, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add sliced button mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown, roughly 6-8 minutes.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth, stirring to deglaze the pan and lift all those lovely browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly. Then stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat every strand in the creamy mushroom sauce. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle with the fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting, creamy goodness.

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large skillet or sauté pan
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Chef's knife
  • Colander
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Notes

  • Use cremini or shiitake mushrooms for a deeper, earthier flavor variation.
  • Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently with a splash of broth or cream.
  • Add fresh thyme or rosemary during cooking for an herbal twist.
  • Incorporate sautéed spinach or kale for extra greens and nutrients.
