Ingredients:

1 pound of pasta

1 green onion

2 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 container of sliced mushrooms

3 teaspoons of garlic

1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes

1 cup of vegetable broth

1 container of cream cheese

Ready to make?

Begin by cooking the pasta as per the instructions mentioned on the package. Keep aside half a cup of pasta water which should be salty.

Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Next, add mushrooms and stir them in the butter oil. Cook for approximately 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep cooking until the mushrooms have released moisture and are nicely browned. Then, add garlic, green onions, and spices. Stir and cook until the garlic is softened. Finally, pour in half a cup of milk, vegetable broth and block of cream cheese. Simmer the cheese until it's melted. Then, lower the heat and continue to simmer until the sauce reaches a creamy and thick consistency. Now, combine the pasta and mushroom sauce, ensure that all the pasta is coated with the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the pasta water to thin it out accordingly. To thicken your mushroom sauce, you can add a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch mixed with a little bit of water to make a paste and mix in the mushroom sauce.
