What Makes This Pasta So Irresistible?
Fast. A filling pasta dish that’s ready in under 30 minutes. Easy. A simple pour and cook recipe that makes a great weeknight dinner. Vegetarian. With the heartiness of the mushrooms in the cream sauce, you won’t even miss the meat. Delicious. It’s rich, creamy, flavorful, and will have you reaching for a second helping.
I’m going to shoot straight with you, my husband and I almost got into a fight when I made this. He was supposed to photograph it and he looked at it and said, “You used a can of mushroom soup?” Does the man not know me?? OF COURSE NOT! This Mushroom Pasta recipe is the dish that will convince you that you never need to use a can of mushroom soup again. This dish is so very creamy, cheesy, rich and absolutely crave-worthy. It’s a simple mushroom pasta recipe, yet it’s absolutely bursting with complex flavors! And if you consider yourself a pasta fan, prepare to indulge in what is probably one of the easiest yet tastiest vegetarian pasta dishes I have ever made. It truly is such an absolute delight that I find myself thinking about making it on a regular basis. And you know what else makes this recipe so very appealing? How ridiculously quick and easy it is. As you probably already know, I’m all about taking a delicious dish and making it as simple as possible without compromising on flavor. This dish absolutely delivers on all fronts. It’s made in my trusty Instant Pot, and it’s done in less than 30 minutes with minimal effort on my part. It’s seriously everything I dream of in a pasta recipe: simple, quick, and crazy delicious.

Dried ThymeGround Black PepperKosher SaltPortabella Mushrooms- These will be sliced into small bite-sized piecesOnionsMascarpone Cheese- Creates the decadent sauce that perfectly covers every noodleShredded parmesan cheeseDried Thyme- This is an optional ingredient. If you don’t have it in your spice rack, feel free to omit it.
How To Make Mushroom Pasta With Mascarpone Sauce
Tips And Tricks
When I say don’t stir after adding the mascarpone cheese to the Instant Pot, I really mean don’t stir! That is unless you like the flavor of burnt cheese in your dishes.Serve with a simple salad and some crusty bread on the side to sop up all that delicious sauce.If you are having a hard time finding mascarpone cheese (or if you just don’t feel like going to the grocery store), you can use cream cheese mixed with heavy whipping cream in its place. Simply mix 8 ounces of room temperature cream cheese with a 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream and mix well. I do highly recommend picking up some mascarpone cheese though, as it gives the Mushroom Pasta a richer taste.
How Long Does It Last?
Pasta is always a great dish to double up on when you’re cooking because it makes some of the best leftovers. The noodles continue to absorb the flavor the longer they are sitting in the sauce. Mascarpone has a higher fat content than cream cheese, which results in a richer flavor profile. Mascarpone also has a creamier, whipped-like texture that makes it perfect for this Mushroom Pasta recipe. For the best bite, I would suggest enjoying this mushroom pasta within 4-5 days of preparing it.
