Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz bow tie pasta
  • 1 cup reserved pasta water
  • 16 oz button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ large onion, diced
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp mushroom seasoning powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup half & half, or whole milk
  • ½ cup sour cream, bring to room temperature
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Set out sour cream to allow it to come to room temperature.
  • Cook noodles according to package directions.  Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.  Drain noodles and set aside.
  • In a small jar, combine half & half with the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and flour. Screw on lid and shake to combine, until there are no lumps.  Set aside.
  • Divide mushrooms and finely chop about 1 cup of the mushrooms.  Set aside.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and season with salt and pepper as the onions cook.  Sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent, stirring frequently.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown along the edges, about 7-8 minutes.
  • Add the finely chopped mushrooms and continue to cook for another 5-6 minutes. Sauté until all the juices have cooked off.
  • Add minced garlic, mushroom seasoning, and thyme to the pan and cook until fragrant about 1 minute.
  • Add the reserved flour/mustard/cream sauce to the skillet.  Cook, stirring often until sauce thickens.  Scrape up any browned bits in the bottom of the pan.
  • Add reserved pasta water a little at a time until sauce is the thickness you like. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Add the sour cream to the sauce in the skillet. Stir together until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in cooked pasta until coated with the sauce.
  • Serve topped with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Notes

TIP:  If sauce gets too thick as it cooks, thin it out by adding a little more water to the sauce.
