From the Pantry: Creamy Mushroom Pasta

  4.4 – 8 reviews  • Mushroom
If you’re snowed in, or just way too tired for a trip to the store for provisions, this comforting pasta is perfect. Think beef stroganoff meets chicken paprikash (without the meat). The sauce is uber-creamy without the help of cream. Instead, the combo of evaporated milk, flour and mustard do the trick.

Ingredients

  1. Kosher salt
  2. 8 ounces bow tie pasta
  3. One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
  4. 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  5. 2 tablespoons olive oil
  6. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  7. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  8. 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated garlic
  9. 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  10. 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for sprinkling
  11. Two 4.5-ounce jars sliced mushrooms, strained and rinsed
  12. 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or white wine vinegar
  13. Freshly ground black pepper
  14. Dried dill, dried chives or dried parsley, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook according to package directions. Strain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, bring the evaporated milk, chicken broth, oil, flour, mustard, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, Worcestershire and paprika to a boil in a large skillet. Reduce the heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until the sauce is just thicker than heavy cream, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms, vinegar and several grinds of pepper, and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the pasta. Divide among 4 shallow bowls, and sprinkle each with a little paprika, dill and pepper.

Made this with no changes to the recipe. This one is not for me.

I made this dish for my father and grandmother. We all loved it. I didn’t have Dijon mustard on hand so I just used honey mustard. I’ve never made my own sauce before, but the directions were easy enough to follow that I was able to make the sauce without problems. It was delicious! Everyone loved it!

Made this to feed a family after funeral.  It was quick and easy and tasted great.  Easy to heat back up and everyone enjoyed.  I will definitely make this again for my own family for dinner.

So I  DOUBLED THE RECIPE!  I did not use dijon mustard I just used regular mustard, I used garlic cloves crushed a whole bulb in a garlic crusher, and I used apple cider vinegar, and I tripled the flour. BUT I used on can of Cream of mushroom soup heated it in another pot with a half a stick of butter, then I added that to the creamy sauce and allowed that to simmer for 20 minutes. It was a keeper from heaven. You must try it!, It needed pepper but I but salt and pepper on the table for people to flavor their own as they please. The dish needed greens so I  made the side dish peas. It was the perfect dinner and it was easy and quick to prepare just and hour and a half. I love it. 5 stars.

This is a good recipe, however I chnaged it up some for my Family’s taste.  We don’t “tolerate” garlic very well, so I added onion powder, and a bit more Worchestershire. Also I used fresh mushrooms, chopped, and some fresh chives from my window herb “garden”. It turned out really good!
