Ingredients
-
4 ounces penne pasta
-
3 tablespoons butter
-
1 medium shallot, minced
-
3 small garlic cloves, minced
-
1 (4 ounce) package brown mushrooms, stems removed and thickly sliced
-
½ tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
1 cup chicken stock
-
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, or to taste
-
¼ teaspoon dried thyme, or to taste
-
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
½ cup heavy cream
-
¼ cup cream cheese, softened
-
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, optional
-
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or more to taste
-
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
At the same time, melt butter in a stockpot over medium-low heat. Add shallots; stir and cook for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes.
-
Sprinkle mushrooms with flour and stir to coat. Pour in chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Sprinkle some rosemary and thyme into your hand and crush herbs to release the oil. Add them to the pot on top of the mushrooms and stir. Add a grind of salt and pepper. Stir and taste.
-
Pour heavy cream into the simmering pot and stir to combine. Let it cook and bubble up for a few moments, then mix in cream cheese and stir until cream cheese has melted. Taste. Remove pot from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese if the mixture needs a little more salt.
-
Stir sauce again and add pasta. Stir. Turn out mixture into a large, wide-rimmed bowl. Sprinkle parsley on top. Serve hot.
