Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces linguine or pasta of choice, cooked al dente according to package instructions
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 pounds button mushrooms sliced
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the linguine in boiling salted water until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until moisture is released and they turn golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stirwell to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in vegetable broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Lower the heat and stir in greek yogurt and heavy cream. Mix until smooth, then add parmesan cheese and dried thyme. Stir until cheese melts.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen. Serve warm, garnished with parsley if desired.
