Ingredients
  • Pasta – spaghetti – 6 ounces For Mushrooms:
  • Butter – 2 tbsp
  • Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
  • Mushrooms – 14 ounces, sliced
  • For Sauce:
  • Butter – 2 tbsp
  • Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
  • Milk – 1.5 cups
  • Olive oil – 1 tbsp
  • Whole wheat flour – 2 tbsp
  • Salt and pepper to taste To garnish:
  • Cream or milk – ¼ cup
  • Fresh parsley – ¼ cup
Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Boil water and add the pasta with the salt needed for pasta. Then remove and run the pasta through cold water. And toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Take a pan in medium high heat, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Add 2 cloves of garlic and sauté it for a minute. Then add the mushrooms and sauté for 7-8 minutes until golden brown and it should be soft. Set this aside.
  3. Add 2 tbsp of butter to the same pan in medium high heat, add the 2 cloves of garlic and sauté for a minute. Then add the flour, stir fry quickly for 30 seconds and make sure it does not get lumpy. Add the milk slowly and whisk it as you add.
  4. Season with salt and pepper. Let the whole mixture simmer until it thickens. Add olive oil and water when needed if you think the sauce is very thick.
  5. When you think it has got into nicely creamy texture, toss the sauce, pasta and mushrooms together.
  6. Top it with fresh chopped parsley and some crushed pepper just before serving
Notes
You can always use any kind of pasta you fancy.
