This garlic mushroom pasta recipe is easy to make and incredibly delicious! The garlic butter parmesan sauce is freshened up with a touch of lemon and parsley.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces uncooked pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms (sliced)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or veg broth or white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice + zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Boil a salted pot of water and cook the pasta al dente according to package directions.

  2. 2

    Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the onions and mushrooms. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the water has been released from the mushrooms & cooked off and everything gets a good sear and is browned/caramelized (this gives a ton of flavor). It'll take 8-10 minutes or possibly a bit longer.

  3. 3

    Stir in the rest of the butter, plus the garlic and Dijon mustard. Cook for about a minute.

  4. 4

    Add in the broth and lemon juice + zest, and let it bubble for about a minute or so.

  5. 5

    Take the pan off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese and parsley. Add a splash of the hot pasta water prior to draining the pasta (a couple tablespoons) and then toss the pasta with the sauce. Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
