Many people who have followed my food for years know that Resha loves mushrooms. I know many people are weird about mushrooms, but this creamy roasted mushroom pasta will change their tune. Something magical occurs when you allow the mushrooms to soak up the heavenly flavors of balsamic vinegar, with a tiny splash of worcestershire that brings out their absolute best. They’re tender, meaty, crazy flavorful and addicting. As a forkful of creamy pasta swirls in your mouth with the bold flavor of the roasted mushrooms with the light crunch of the toasted breadcrumbs…my god! Texture is so important to me, so I wanted to give you something that was not only delicious to eat, but exciting. Each bite will vary, but every bite will be effing delicious. Lemon zest is added to provide a much needed brightness and pleasant fragrance. Adaptable in every way, I think this will become a regular in your household. You are encouraged to add other things to it, or keep it meatless like it is. I love meat, but sometimes we all need a day off the meat…that’s what she said. Creamy Roasted Mushroom Pasta Tips ALWAYS put your food in a pre-heated oven! Don’t put the food in, then turn on the heat. Roasting just…doesn’t work like that. I highly recommend roasting your mushrooms in the oven. It frees up space, takes almost no time, and every little morsel gets cooked to perfection. You could pan-roast, but that will take longer, and more babysitting. Make sure you add enough oil prior to roasting so that they don’t become rubbery, but instead toothsome and tender — meaty! Just about any kind of mushroom is my favorite, but I wanted to use a more widely available variety for this recipe — for you. Make this with maitakes, shiitakes, beech, chanterelles, trumpets, oyster, etc. As for the sauce, it’s nothing more than a generous amount of heavy cream and some appreciated background dancers (like that amazingly sweet and earthy roasted garlic). Toasting the breadcrumbs is absolutely necessary here. If you’re a hater of texture, just leave them out — but you’d be missing out! This dish was first made and seen on my IG stories. Since then, it’s become extremely popular with my lovely followers. They’ve been sending me videos and photos of their renditions left and right, and all of them look amazing. Some have even figured out how to make this completely vegan. Roasted mushrooms are amazing, and this dish proves that. Such a comforting, creamy, and simple meal. Here’s to a delicious Meatless Monday!
