This Lactose-Free Creamy Mushroom Pasta is a comforting and delicious dish perfect for weeknight dinners. It features tender pasta coated in a rich, velvety sauce made with lactose-free milk, cream, and Parmesan-style cheese. Earthy sautéed mushrooms bring a deep, savoury flavour, balanced by the subtle sweetness of caramelized onions and garlic. The sauce is thickened to perfection, creating a luxurious texture that clings to every bite of pasta. Fresh herbs like thyme and parsley add brightness, making this dish both hearty and refined. Simple to prepare, it’s a creamy indulgence without the lactose!
Ingredients
-
225g pasta of choice (penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti)
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini, button, or portobello)
-
1 cup lactose-free milk
-
1/2 cup lactose-free cream
-
1/2 cup lactose-free grated style cheese
-
1 tablespoon corn starch (optional, for thickening)
-
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in lactose-free milk and bring to a simmer. For extra creaminess, add lactose-free cream. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix corn starch with a little water and add to the sauce, simmering for a few more minutes. Stir in the grated lactose-free Parmesan-style cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce, stirring to coat evenly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of lactose-free cheese if desired. Serve with a side salad or garlic bread.
Enjoy your flavourful and creamy lactose-free pasta!
