• In a small bowl whisk milk and flour until well combined.
• Pour the milk mixture over the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Recipe notes and tips

• Use any pasta of choice. For a much healthier option, use lentil or chickpea pasta which are packed with protein.
• Any milk of choice: we prefer using 2% or skim milk. You may use almond or coconut milk. Consistency and flavor will change slightly.
• Oil: we used olive oil, but you may use avocado oil
• Cheese: we prefer parmesan cheese for this recipe. You may use shredded romano

For a Gluten-Free option, use gluten-free pasta instead of whole wheat pasta. No one is gluten sensitive in our house so I usually use only whole wheat pasta.

What kind of cream is used for pasta

Commonly used creamy for pasta are either whipping cream or heavy cream. For a healthier option, we simply used milk, parmesan cheese and a bit of flour to create a creamy base without all the calories from the heavy cream.

How to store creamy mushroom pasta

Place your leftover pasta in a container and store in the fridge for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and warm it up in the microwave before serving.

Can I use milk instead of cream

For any recipe that calls for cream, you can replace it with milk (half-and-half, whole or 2% milk), a bit butter or oil. To get that rich creamy flavor of our mushroom pasta recipe we added some parmesan cheese as well.
