Creamy Garlic Herb Mushroom Spaghetti

Mushroom spaghetti with a creamy garlic herb sauce? Okay, this is capital L-O-V-E on so many levels. I know – technically, this probably would have been a better fit for Meatless Monday. It’s a nice way to change up spaghetti and make it something a little more veg-friendly and, um, what’s the word? GAHHHHH? But when we’re talking about butter and garlic soaked mushrooms tossed with fresh herbs and coated in a creamy sauce all served up on steaming hot pasta – ♡♡♡ – let’s get real. That, my friends, does not need a Meatless Monday. In my world, that can happen any day of the week.

This is not a new conversation around here, but I always feel the need to let you guys know: I haven’t always been a mushroom lover.

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

3 tablespoons olive oil

additional 1/4 cup water, broth, milk or cream (optional)

1/4 cup fresh parsley (more to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Pasta: Cook the pasta according to package directions. Set aside and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
2. Mushrooms: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium high heat. Add one clove of the garlic and saute for a minute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-10 minutes, until golden brown and softened. Set aside.
3. Sauce: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and melt again over medium high heat. Add the garlic and saute for a minute until fragrant. Add the flour and herbes de provence. Stir fry for a minute to cook out the flour taste. Add the milk slowly, whisking to incorporate. Let the mixture simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
