Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and tender, about five to seven minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute longer, until aromatic. Stir in the wine and cook until reduced. Add cream, stock and seasonings and bring them to a boil. Cook, stirring until thick, about 15 to 20 minutes. Toss with pasta and serve sprinkled with parsley.<\/p>\n<h2>Creamy Mushroom Pasta Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add protein:\u00a0<\/strong>Make this hearty pasta dish even more filling by adding cubed chicken breast, beef tenderloin (just like in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/beef-stroganoff\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/beef-stroganoff\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\"> beef stroganoff)<\/a> or a can of rinsed white beans.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Say cheese: <\/strong>No one would complain if you finished this dish with a shower of grated parmesan cheese.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a dash of sherry:\u00a0<\/strong>Near the end of cooking, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of sherry. It will liven up the sauce and complement the mushrooms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Creamy Mushroom Pasta<\/h2>\n<p>This dish is best served as soon as it&#8217;s made but leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for two to three days.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat creamy mushroom pasta?<\/h3>\n<p>Gently reheat this dish in a saucepan or microwave, stirring frequently. Add more fresh parsley to serve.<\/p>\n<h2>Creamy Mushroom Pasta Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>How do I cook mushrooms for maximum flavor?<\/h3>\n<p>Sadly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mistakes-we-all-make-when-cooking-mushrooms\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/mistakes-we-all-make-when-cooking-mushrooms\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">mushrooms are often mishandled<\/a>. They are crowded in a pan and only cooked long enough to steam. Make sure you use a large skillet and go slow with the mushrooms. Stir them frequently and cook until they&#8217;ve given up their water and have started to brown on the edges. This adds a lot of flavor in a few extra minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best type of cream to use?<\/h3>\n<p>Heavy cream is the best cream for this recipe. If you&#8217;re out or don&#8217;t have any in the fridge, consult our handy guide for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/heavy-cream-substitute\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/heavy-cream-substitute\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">the best cream substitutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I make this recipe without the wine?<\/h3>\n<p>You can increase the chicken stock by 1\/4 cup if you&#8217;d rather not include the wine.
