Mushroom pasta is one of the easiest pasta dishes to make at home for the entire family, especially on the days when you don’t want meat for dinner.

Mushroom is a great source of plant protein. I love mushrooms, they adds umami flavors to everything.
I prefer lighter pasta dishes for dinner so I used light whipping cream for the sauce. Pair the cream with chicken broth, and jazz it up with some grated Parmesan cheese so every bite of the spaghetti oozes with the stringy Parmesan cheese.
The mushroom sauce is light, crazy delicious, creamy and buttery. Toss in some baby spinach, and you have the most delicious one-pot mushroom pasta for your family, and picky-eater proof.

Recipe Notes
You may use heavy whipping cream if you want your Creamy Mushroom Pasta richer and creamier.
Donna
This recipe surely is a big thumbs up especially since I am a spaghetti and mushroom lover. However, I am worried about the saturated fat and cholesterol content. They are very high!

Hi Donna, I have an automatic nutrition label generation plugin, sometimes I don’t trust the numbers either. You can use low fat versions of the ingredients. :)
Kathy Galvan
How would this, or any of your 1 pot pasta recipes, work with whole wheat pasta???
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Kathy, I am not sure because I didn’t try with whole wheat pasta and so I can’t advice you on the end results. I am sorry.
Bob
Thank you for this recipe…I’m going to try this tonight.
I will be using the heavy whipping cream right off the bat.
Your recipes are wonderful. I have yet to be disappointed

Thanks for the simple and tasty recipe, Bee! I used linguine noodles, and it was delicious; it was even better the next day for leftovers!

Hi Rasa,
The first time I said to pasta processing this type. Looks quite attractive.
Thank you!
Christine
I love that this pasta is so simple but so good at the same time. You can make a lot of it all at once and you don’t need a whole lot of ingredients, which is great because we rarely have anything in the house. With this one though I don’t have to worry so much about that.

Since I love mushrooms, I decided to give this dish a try. This creamy mushroom pasta took hardly any time at all to make and the end result was simply decadent. I love whipping this dish up for a quick meal everyone can enjoy.

Pasta is one of those staples that we absolutely cannot get away from and we always try to come up with different ways that we can eat it because the old ones can get a little old sometimes. But this really looks like an awesome way to eat pasta and not get quite as much of the fat that comes with most of our favorite pasta dishes.
David Summerbell
I tried this last night but it didn’t come out quite as nice as what you have in your pics. I guess as with most other things, i’ll need practice. It’s a good recipe nonetheless so thanks for sharing and taking those great pics.
Scott Williams
Pretty much anything with mushrooms in it I know I will enjoy and this was no exception. Your photos were absolutely beautiful. Kind of made me feel bad though because my version didn’t look as aesthetically pleasing :(.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Scott, taste is more important than presentation, I am so glad you tried my creamy mushroom pasta recipe.
Wlo
We as a family hardly make creamy pasta, but the photo was so good that we have it a try and mmmm ???? I can easily have an extra serve over & over again. We added ham into it.
Thanks for sharing!
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Wlo, I know, this creamy mushroom pasta is very good. Ham is such a good idea. :)

Could I do this with half and half instead of heavy cream?
Rasa Malaysia
