Combine and serve
Use your favorite gluten-free pasta. Follow the package instructions for cooking times as they can vary.
Replace the low-fat milk with an unsweetened plain plant-based milk, such as oat or soy milk, for a creamy result.
Add 1 cup of cooked chickpeas or white beans along with the pasta, or top with grilled chicken strips.
Finely chop the mushrooms so they blend into the sauce more easily. Ensure the black pepper is omitted or used very sparingly.

Using whole wheat pasta increases the fiber content, which aids in digestion, promotes satiety, and helps manage blood sugar levels.
This version is designed to be healthy. It uses whole wheat pasta for fiber, is low in sodium, and uses low-fat milk instead of heavy cream to reduce saturated fat. The mushrooms provide vitamins and minerals, making it a nutritious choice.

Absolutely! A mix of mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, or portobello would add even more depth and flavor to the dish.
For extra creaminess, you can blend a small portion of the cooked mushrooms with the milk before adding it back to the pan. The starchy pasta water is also essential for a silky sauce.
