Creamy Mushroom Pasta - crazy delicious one-pot pasta with creamy mushroom sauce, every spaghetti strand is coated in creamy goodness!
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.
Trust me, try my creamy mushroom pasta recipe and I am sure everyone will be blown away!

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 Tiphanie, thanks for your sweet comment, so glad that you love my creamy mushroom pasta. Yes, they are always better the next day! :)
Hi Rasa,
The first time I said to pasta processing this type. Looks quite attractive.
Thank you!
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.
Hi Christine, thanks for trying my creamy mushroom pasta recipe.
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.
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.
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 :(.
Hi Scott, taste is more important than presentation, I am so glad you tried my creamy mushroom pasta recipe.
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!
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?
Yes you can.
I am pasta lover but seldom have creamy pasta. Your photos of creamy mushroom pasta looks so delicious! Nice photos and thanks for sharing!
