Key Ingredients:
- Brown Mushrooms: Sliced and sauteed in butter until browned and tender.
- Garlic, Fresh Thyme, White Wine: Add flavor and contrast.
- Broth & Cream: Mixed with the veggies and just a touch of flour to cream the creamy sauce.
- All-Purpose Flour: Just a bit mixed with the veggies helps thicken the broth and cream mixture into a lovely pasta sauce.
- Pasta Noodles: For this recipe I used GF Tagliatelle, but you can use your favorite pasta shape.
- Ground Nutmeg: Just a pinch adds warmth and elevates the flavors of this recipe.
Dietary Swaps:
- Gluten-Free: Use your favorite gluten-free pasta noodle. I used Jovial's gluten-free egg tagliatelle. Also, ensure all store bought products are labeled gluten free, especially chicken broth.
- Dairy-Free: Swap butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese for dairy-free versions.
- Vegetarian: Swap broth and Parmesan cheese for plant-based versions.
Recipe Variations:
- Add a Meat. I love this recipe with a ground sausage, shredded rotisserie chicken, or crispy crumbled bacon.
- Add extra veggies, such as a handful of spinach.
- Add a dash of Worcestershire, for deeper umami flavor.
Tips & Recipe Notes:
- Saute mushrooms in an even layer.
- Once broth & cream are added, stir constantly. This helps thicken the sauce and prevent scorching.
- Reserve a bit of pasta water. Pasta water is called 'liquid gold' for a reason, and is great for thinning out a pasta sauce without causing it to break.
Storage & Reheating:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat on the stove top over medium low. Add a splash of broth or cream and stir continuously until warmed through.
