Mushroom Parmesan Bechamel Pasta Sauce

This garlic mushroom parmesan bechamel pasta sauce is made from a roux base bechamel sauce with freshly grated parmesan cheese and garlic mushrooms.
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb mushrooms
  • 8 garlic cloves
  • ¼ cup freshly shredded parmesan
  • 2 cups milk
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash and slice the mushrooms thinly long ways.
  • In a large stovetop pan on medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot, add the garlic and mushrooms. Cover the stovetop pan to allow the mushrooms to sweat out the moisture.
  • Cook the mushrooms for about 5 minutes covered. Once the mushrooms are tender, remove from the heat uncovered.
  • In a separate pan on medium-high heat, heat the milk. Be careful not to let it boil. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan on medium-high heat, add the butter. Once the butter starts to change colors, add the flour and stir continuously for about 1 minute. Gradually add the warm milk stirring continuously. The sauce should be thickening as you stir. If you notice lumps, just keep whisking. See note 1 below
  • Add the parmesan cheese into the roux bechamel sauce and mix well. Pour the sauce over the mushrooms and mix.
  • Serve atop pasta or homemade sweet potato gnocchi.

Notes

  1. If you get lumps in your sauce that don't go away with whisking, add 1 tablespoon of ice water.
