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 a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes until they release moisture and turn golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Lower the heat and stir in the Greek yogurt and heavy cream. Mix until smooth, then add the parmesan cheese and dried thyme. Stir until the cheese melts.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it. Serve warm, garnished with parsley if desired.
