Bongiorno, Señoras and Señoritas! I would like to start the article with just such a greeting, because our dish of the day today is pasta - the main national dish of Italians. In Russian, pasta is usually called macaroni, but it is only one of nearly a hundred types of pasta that became popular during the Soviet Union. Think about this number, there are almost a hundred different types of pasta and each form is suitable for certain dishes.
Wow, they love to eat delicious food, just like us! Oh, and by the way, despite the fact that they eat pasta every day, you don’t often meet overweight people there. And why? I’ll tell you about this as I describe today’s recipe. And such a delicious treat awaits you today...
On average, each Italian consumes about 28 kg of pasta per year. And this is not a myth, this is pure truth. There are an incredible number of dishes made from and involving pasta. Typically, pasta is served for lunch as a first course. We eat soup for lunch, and they have this same pasta, with various sauces. Moreover, the sauce does not have to be complex: tomatoes in their own juice, plus fried garlic, plus aromatic olive oil - and voila! lunch is ready!
Well, then there’s certainly the main course and, of course, dessert, usually incredibly tender and tasty tiramisu with a cup of espresso or cappuccino.
And today I will show you only one type of sauce that can be used to season pasta, or rather pasta, it will be more correct!

Substitutions, tips and technical points:
Pasta
The spaghetti in the recipe can be replaced with any other pasta. But for the creamy sauce, as in the recipe, I recommend using long types: bavette, linguine, bucatini or nest.
Cream
Take cream with 20% fat content. This will make the creamy sauce thicker. If, like me, you took liquid cream and want to make the consistency of the sauce thicker, add a tablespoon of flour to the boiling cream and stir. Wait a minute. If there is not enough thickness, then add another half spoon.
A reminder to prevent the cream from curdling and how to control the density of the creamy pasta sauce.
Greenery
It is advisable to buy fresh basil. This way it will give off more taste and aroma.
Cheese
For pasta, I always recommend using hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, Grana Padano, Gruyere, Swiss, etc. But any cheese of your choice will suit this recipe. You can even melt it. If you melt it in the sauce, it will also be delicious.
Advice
In order to avoid the formation of a “pasta pie” after cooking, which often happens when you make pasta in a creamy sauce, it is advisable to cook as much as you can eat at one time.

- Tomato pulp 3 tbsp.
- Olive oil
- Spices: salt, black pepper, nutmeg, sugar, dry aromatic herbs
Cooking method:
- Spaghetti with mushroom sauce is perfectly prepared with any available mushrooms, both wild and artificially grown.
- You can buy fresh champignons or oyster mushrooms in almost any store. I prefer oyster mushrooms for frying.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan and fry the peeled and flattened garlic cloves in it. This way the olive oil is flavored. When the garlic begins to darken, discard it.
- Peel a large onion and cut into strips. Fry the onion in oil until a nice golden color.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, add 1-2 pinches of dried Mediterranean herbs and nutmeg on the tip of a knife. To get a delicious sweet and sour sauce, you can add a quarter teaspoon of sugar - if desired.

With sour cream
In addition to creamy mushroom sauce, many housewives and restaurant chefs prepare sour cream sauce. Its main component is not thick cream, but thinner sour cream. The sauce resembles a creamy mushroom sauce, but still differs in its taste and gives the dish a characteristic sour cream flavor. However, the replacement is especially appropriate if a person does not consume cream, but is partial to sour cream.
Main ingredients for making mushroom gravy:
- 400 gr. champignons;
- 250 gr. flour;
- 100 gr. flour;
- 100 ml. milk;
- 1 onion;
- a pinch of nutmeg;
- vegetable oil.
First, let's deal with the onion - it needs to be peeled, washed with running water and finely chopped. Place the frying pan on the fire, heat the oil in it and add the onion. Fry until golden brown and place in a separate bowl.
We put peeled chopped mushrooms into the oil, when they give a lot of water, we wait for the excess liquid to evaporate. Fry the mushrooms, add the onion. Mix the mixture thoroughly and add flour and salt. Simmer the dish over the fire, then add sour cream. Mix the mixture, carefully pour in the milk and simmer until done for another 3 minutes. At the end of preparing the sauce, add ground nutmeg.
The sauce has a rich, spicy, spicy taste. They pour it over the pasta and serve the dish hot.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
This species is considered the “safest” mushroom because it is almost impossible to get poisoned by it. However, it should be remembered that fresh champignons are white or light brown in color. If the mushrooms smell damp, are soft to the touch, or the film between the cap and stem is damaged, then you have an expired product that should not be eaten.
Mushroom sauce for spaghetti
Wild mushrooms are best suited for making mushroom sauce, as their flavor is strongest. In this case, it is better to use dry porcini mushrooms or boletus. But if there are no wild mushrooms, they can be quite successfully replaced with fresh champignons purchased in the store. When choosing champignons, give preference to small mushrooms. Spaghetti is also very good with cheese, the aroma of the cheese perfectly complements the mushroom!
Ingredients:
- 500 g of fresh forest mushrooms or champignons;
- 1 sweet bell pepper – paprika;
- 2 tbsp. olive oil;
- 2 tbsp. milk;
- 300 g hard cheese;
- 2 tbsp. butter;
- 1.5 tbsp. starch;
- 2-3 cloves of garlic;
- a little lemon zest;
- ground black pepper:
- fresh herbs: parsley, dill;
- salt to taste.
Cooking method:
- Boil mushrooms in a small amount of water. If these are wild mushrooms, the cooking time will be 10 minutes, for champignons it is enough to simmer for 2 minutes. Drain the water in which the mushrooms were cooked into a separate bowl, placing them in a colander.
Classic mushroom sauce for spaghetti
Ingredients:
- dried mushrooms,
- sour cream (any fat content),
- water (I indicated for a thick sauce, but you can use more if you like a thinner sauce),
- onions, refined (I use sunflower) oil,
- wheat flour (any type),
- a pinch of ground nutmeg and black pepper, as well as salt.
Cooking method:
- The first step is to thoroughly rinse the sand (especially if the mushrooms are store-bought) from the dried mushrooms, then pour about a glass of water over them and cook over medium heat until soft (20-25 minutes). If you soak mushrooms, for example, overnight, you will need to cook them for literally 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour vegetable oil into a suitable frying pan and heat it. Peel the medium onion and cut into small cubes. Place chopped onion in hot oil. Fry it over medium heat, stirring occasionally so as not to burn.
- When the onion turns golden, add a tablespoon of wheat flour to it.
- Mix everything and let the flour become creamy - this way we will get rid of the characteristic flour taste, which will be replaced by a pleasant nutty aroma.
- Next, pour 100 milliliters of boiling water, mix everything and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
- During this time, the dried mushrooms were boiled. They need to be removed from the broth and cut into medium pieces if you are grinding the sauce with a blender. If desired, you can leave the mushrooms, then they need to be chopped quite finely
- Add pieces of mushrooms to the onion-flour base and pour in 100-150 milliliters of mushroom broth
- Simmer everything covered over low heat, stirring occasionally. When most of the liquid has evaporated, remove the pan from the heat.
- Add sour cream to the mushroom sauce and mix everything vigorously. Return the pan to the heat and quickly heat everything up, stirring constantly. It is important not to let the sour cream boil, otherwise it may curdle. This sauce contains flour, thanks to which the sour cream should not curdle, but you never know...
- In fact, the sour cream and mushroom sauce is ready - you just need to let it cool. But you can eat this sauce warm - in any case it will be delicious.
- I like my mushroom sauce to be smooth and almost uniform, so I puree it using an immersion blender. But this is a matter of taste - you can leave the mushrooms in whole pieces, as I said above.
- Transfer the cooled or still warm sour cream and mushroom sauce into a gravy boat and serve as a tasty and aromatic addition to appetizers and side dishes.
- This sauce goes well with pasta, cereals, potato dishes, meat and poultry. And just on a slice of fragrant homemade bread, it’s always welcome
Creamy with hanger mushrooms
You can use any mushrooms for the sauce - wild or grown champignons or hanger mushrooms. A less expensive budget option would be to buy hang mushrooms at the nearest supermarket. These mushrooms don't take long to cook and taste good.
Modern society grows oyster mushrooms on special farms in compliance with all standards of sanitation and product quality. Under natural conditions, such mushrooms grow on the stumps and trunks of various trees - birch, oak, willow, and aspen.
Veshanka is used in many cuisines around the world; it grows in central Russia, the Caucasus and the Far Eastern territories. Mushrooms have a flat round cap of varying diameters. In its composition, hanger mushroom contains many useful compounds and biological substances - mineral salts, proteins, carbohydrates.
The second main ingredient of the gravy is vegetable oil. For cooking, olive oil is used, which is valuable for its elements. Olive oil brings out the aroma of mushrooms and onions, saturates each bite and leaves a pleasant aftertaste in the mouth when absorbing the sauce.
In the most extreme situations, olive oil can be replaced with sunflower oil. Oil will be needed for frying cloves of garlic, onions and mushrooms.
Ingredients required for gravy:
- 200 gr. mushrooms;
- 3 cloves of garlic;
- parsley;
- 1 large onion;
- 20% cream – 3 b. l.;
- basil;
- salt.
Fry the garlic in oil in a frying pan, then discard the cloves. Add mushrooms to the oil and fry them until the liquid has completely evaporated. Then add finely chopped onions and herbs. Pour cream into the mushroom mass in a gentle stream and prepare a sauce based on it - let the liquid warm up well under the lid for about 10 minutes. At the end, seasonings and salt are added.
Mushroom spaghetti sauce can be served for breakfast or dinner. The gravy makes the dish tender, rich in mushroom notes and has an appetizing taste and aroma.
