Easy and delicious creamy mushroom pasta made using homemade velvety white sauce (inspired by béchamel sauce) mastering the art of the perfect roux of flour and butter.
Put your fat pants on as I bring you the ultimate recipe for a rich and creamy mushroom pasta, also popularly known as white sauce pasta in India. Inspired by the creamy béchamel sauce , this simple and easy mushroom pasta is going to be your next favourite thing to make. All you need is 20 minutes of time and basic pantry ingredients lying in your kitchen.
It is easier to assume by now, how much of a big garlic fan I am. These butter garlic baked french fries, or this ultimate tomato garlic pasta and these delicious garlic breadsticks are clear evidences of that. As mush as I wanted to add the crushed garlic or some garlic paste or garlic powder to this pasta, I made things easy by adding just 1/2 tsp of this ultimate garlic essence by Ossoro.
I recently tried their products and am loving it so far!! Have you guys checked out the Apple Cinnamon Oats recipe I published using the cinnamon essence? Click here to have a look.
Coming back to this creamy mushroom pasta, like I said - it is super easy to make. The cream sauce or the béchamel sauce or shall we just call it white sauce? is basically a roux thats made of just flour and butter and the you add milk and cream to it to make it really rich and velvety white sauce pasta.
What else do you need? Mushrooms. Don't you dare make a creamy white sauce pasta and not add mushrooms to it. Thats just basic béchamel sauce protocol, in my opinion.

Instructions
- Boil the pasta as per package instructions.

- In the same pan, add the remaining butter and let it melt completely on low flame. Now add flour and whisk for about 50-60 seconds until the mixture turns light brown in colour. A paste like consistency must have achieved at this step.
