Ingredients
Scale
Pasta
- 300g farfalle pasta
Vegetables
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 400g mushrooms, sliced
Sauce
- 50cl single cream
- 2 tsp dried chicken stock
- 20g butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion. Slice the mushrooms. Mix the dried chicken stock with the single cream until well combined.
- Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: In a saucepan, sauté the garlic and onion with the butter and a pinch of salt over medium heat, ensuring they soften without browning. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for a few more minutes until tender.
- Cook Pasta: Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Cook the farfalle according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and keep it warm.
- Make Mushroom Cream Sauce: Pour the mushroom cream mixture into the saucepan with the cooked mushrooms. Reduce the sauce over medium heat for a few minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Combine the cooked pasta with the mushroom cream sauce and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, replace the dried chicken stock with dried vegetable stock.
- You can use any mushrooms you prefer, such as cremini, button, or shiitake.
- If you want a thicker sauce, let it reduce longer or add a teaspoon of flour before adding the cream.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Use gluten-free pasta to make this dish gluten-free.
