Creamy Mushroom Sauce for Pasta
To make the ultimate creamy mushroom sauce, you will first need to make a soft and silky white sauce.
This requires 5 minutes of patience to slowly combine butter, flour, and milk, and gently cook until thick and creamy. Making this sauce extra special and full of flavor requires some key ingredients, which pair fantastically well with the chestnut mushrooms.
The first is a delicious white wine, which creates an incredible scent of pears and apples as soon as it hits the hot pan. Cook the wine gently for a few minutes to allow the alcohol to burn off before the milk is added.
Towards the end of cooking, the parmesan, dijon mustard, and creme fraiche are stirred into the sauce to ensure a full-flavored, creamy, and satisfying finish to the dish. White wine cream sauce adds so much flavor to this mushroom pasta recipe.

Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. Butter - (15 g)
- 1 Onion finely chopped - (about 3.5 oz or 100 g)
- 1 clove Garlic - finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon Plain flour
- 1.5 cups button mushrooms - (or other type of mushrooms; about 300 g)
- ½ cup White wine
- 1.5 cups 2% milk
- 2 tablespoon Grated parmesan - (or other choice of hard cheese; about 30 g)
- 8 oz Uncooked Spaghetti - (or other pasta)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard - (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Creme Fraiche or Sour cream
- Handful freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
- In a large pan melt the butter and gently fry the garlic and onions until soft. Add the mushrooms and stir fry for another 2 minutes or until just starting to soften.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir in well. Some flour may start to stick to the base of the pan at this point, but don't worry.
- Next, add the wine and scrape up any bits of flour. As the wine reduces it will mix with the flour and start to thicken.
- As the wine thickens start to add the milk a little at a time whilst continually stirring. The gradual additions of milk and continual stirring will prevent any lumps forming and will create a silky, smooth white sauce.
- Once all the milk is added continue to stir and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes to ensure the flour is cooked out and the sauce is fully thickened.
- Next add parmesan, dijon mustard, creme fraiche and seasoning to the sauce and stir in well.
- Finally add cooked spaghetti to the pan and stir to coat in the sauce, then top with extra parmesan and fresh parsley and serve.
