Ingredients 

1 bag Farmfoods Signature Wild Mushrooms (defrosted, reserve liquid and top up to 300ml)

1 small onion, finely diced

1 tbsp butter

2 tsp grated garlic

2 tsp flour

1 vegetable or chicken stock cube

200ml milk

50ml double cream

2 tbsp parmesan cheese

200g pasta or spaghetti

Salt & black pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Method

1. Prepare the Mushrooms

Blend the defrosted mushrooms until finely chopped. Heat the butter in a large pan, then fry the mushrooms until golden brown. Be patient – they will release moisture before caramelizing.

2. Build the Base

Once the mushrooms are golden, add the onion and cook until softened. Stir in the garlic and flour, cooking for 2–3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

3. Create the Sauce

Add the stock cube and reserved mushroom liquid, stirring well. Let it cook down for 2–3 minutes before adding the milk, cream, and parmesan. Season generously with salt and pepper.

4. Cook the Pasta

Meanwhile, cook your pasta in salted water until al dente. Transfer the pasta straight into the sauce with tongs or a spoon, adding a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the creamy mushroom sauce. Serve hot with extra parmesan and cracked black pepper.

Tips for the Best Creamy Wild Mushroom Pasta

Don’t rush the mushrooms – letting them brown properly gives the sauce a deep, savory flavor.

Save your pasta water – the starch helps bind the sauce beautifully.

Make it vegetarian – use vegetable stock and swap parmesan for a veggie-friendly alternative.

Upgrade with herbs – fresh thyme or parsley makes a great finishing touch.
