    Comforting, quick and delicious 😍

    Quick and easy pasta dishes are pretty much my life.

    At least once a week I'll throw one together when I'm feeling especially tired or pushed for time and this mushroom tagliatelle is the latest of my weeknight creations.

    It's so easy, uses just a handful of ingredients and requires barely any thinking or cooking before you've got a comforting bowl of pasta in front of you.

    And of course mushrooms and pasta is such a classic combination and packed with flavour. From creamy mushroom pasta to mushroom pasta bake and five ingredient garlic mushroom pasta these is just so much goodness to be found in that mushroom and pasta combination!

    Ingredients

    • Garlic: The base for every delicious pasta dish
    • Mushrooms: I went for chestnut but you could use any type you like
    • Crème Fraîche: For that delicious creamy sauce. You can also use cream if you prefer.

    Instructions

    1. Cook the mushrooms: Heat the oil and add the garlic, cook until softened then add the mushrooms and season well. Cook for about 10 minutes until softened.
    2. Cook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to packet instructions in salted water
    3. Finish the sauce: Add the crème fraîche to the mushrooms and stir then use tongs to transfer the pasta to the sauce and toss. Serve with chopped parsley.

    Expert tips for making this recipe

    • If the sauce needs thinning slightly add a little pasta water while tossing the pasta and sauce together
    • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms - if you need to then fry them in batches to make allow them to be cooked in a single layer in the pan, this will ensure they brown properly and get extra flavourful
    • Cook the pasta until just al dente as it will continue to cook when you add it to the sauce

    Variations

    • To make this recipe with meat you can add some cooked chicken or diced ham before serving
    • Feel free to add extra veggies to this dish if you like. Asparagus or broccoli would be good
    • Drizzle with chilli oil or sprinkle with chilli flakes before serving for a spicy kick
    • To make this recipe gluten free simply use your favourite brand of gluten free pasta

    Storage

    Any leftovers of this recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Mushroom Tagliatelle FAQs

    Is spaghetti the same as tagliatelle?

    Spaghetti and tagliatelle aren't the same although they are both long pastas. Spaghetti are strings of pasta while tagliatelle are flat strips. Although they are different both could definitely be used for this recipe so feel free to sub in spaghetti if that's what you have on hand.

    How do you clean mushrooms?

    Mushrooms are porous so it's important not to wash them using water - they'll suck up all the water which will stop them from browning when you add them to the pan. Simply use a slightly damp paper towel to wipe any dirt away.

    What type of mushroom is best for this recipe?

    There are so many different types of mushrooms and to be honest most of them would work really well in this pasta recipe! From a classic white mushroom, to portobello, chestnut or even wild mushrooms - they're all great choices for this recipe so go with your favourite!

    Can I use a different type of pasta?

    Absolutely! Although I love this creamy sauce with long strands of pasta like tagliatelle, I've also made it with short cuts of pasta and it's still delicious.
