For the last few years, we started making pasta for dinner a lot, as it is simple to make and gives a full feeling as well. Secondly, it is economical, and thirdly it is a time saver.

This cream of mushroom pasta sauce is the skinny version of regular cream of the mushroom recipe.

Since I've made it for myself, I went through the skinny choice but add Parmesan cheese if you desire.

If you are here for a while, you might have noticed that I mostly make skinny versions like this buttermilk pasta, avocado pasta, hot marinara sauce, and Sweet potato pasta sauce.

Also other paste dishes like, coconut milk alfredo sauce, spicy pumpkin pasta sauce, and creamy spicy shrimp pasta.

Having a bowl full of food specially made for you feel your top of the world. Adopting a classic, traditional recipe and customizing to your preference is the most exciting and exciting achievement or goal. You may call it whatever, but for me this customizing part makes me amuse and fascinating towards cooking.

Though the recipe seems to look simple with few ingredients, it tastes excellent, and it also perfects for a large crowd also.

Cream of mushroom pasta sauce notes and variations:

  • This cream of mushroom pasta sauce has a great creamy texture and taste because of the milk added. You may also substitute regular milk with coconut milk which makes the dish taste entirely different and takes you to the other cuisine.
  • I have added low-fat milk, also made with whole wheat pasta to make it the skinnier and still nutritious. You can make any pasta recipe healthy by the ingredient you choose.
  • To make this creamy mushroom pasta vegan, substitute milk with almond milk or soy milk or rice milk or cashew milk. Each of these milk has got its taste and flavor, so keep trying out these various choices.
  • If you worry about the two tablespoons of flour added to the recipe, you may substitute cornstarch or tapioca flour, but as I said told you-you earlier the texture of the sauce slightly varies from the all-purpose flour’s creaminess.
  • You can also make the same cream of mushroom pasta sauce for any other pasta varieties like fettuccine, bow, and tie, etc.

    I don't usually like creamy sauces for pasta as I have a preference for tomato-based sauce, but I thought I would try your recipe and it was delicious.
    I will definitely check out the rest of your recipes - curry is my favourite food 🙂
    Thanks -
