Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces whole wheat pasta (spaghetti, linguine, etc.) – I like DeLallo brand
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 16 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon herbes de provence
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • additional 1/4 cup water, broth, milk or cream (optional)

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Set aside and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium high heat. Add one clove of the garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-10 minutes, until golden brown and softened. Set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and melt again over medium high heat. Add the remaining garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the flour and herbes de provence. Stir fry for 1 minute to cook out the flour taste.
  5. Add the milk slowly, whisking to incorporate. Let the mixture simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Toss the sauce, pasta, and mushrooms together. Add the olive oil and optional liquid as needed to keep the sauce from getting too thick. Stir in the parsley just before serving.

Notes

- Use fresh, high-quality mushrooms for the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when sautéing mushrooms; cook in batches if necessary for browning.
- Whisk the flour into the butter before adding milk to create a smooth roux and prevent lumps.
- Adjust the consistency of the sauce with extra milk, water, or broth as needed.
