Mushroom Pasta Recipes with Gorgonzola and Truffle

There’s something about mushroom pasta recipes that makes me feel like I’m sitting in a cozy Italian trattoria, even if I’m actually just in my own kitchen with a pile of dishes waiting in the sink. The earthy mushrooms, the sharp bite of gorgonzola, and the indulgent aroma of truffle come together in a way that feels both comforting and luxurious. You know those meals where you twirl the fork slowly just to make the moment last longer? That’s this one. I’ve always loved pasta mushroom recipes because they walk the line between hearty and elegant. When you add a little gorgonzola, you get richness. When you drizzle truffle oil over the top, you get a dish that smells like you’ve somehow stolen a chef from a Michelin-starred restaurant. And trust me, you don’t need a culinary degree to pull this off. Just a pan, a pot, and a willingness to lick the spoon when no one’s looking. Whether you’re hunting for mushroom dinner recipes for a Friday night in, curious about mushroom soup recipes but not in the mood for soup, or even daydreaming about how this compares to a mushroom curry recipe you had last week, this pasta will win you over. It’s creamy, it’s decadent, and it makes you wonder why mushroom soup ever got all the fame when pasta deserves the spotlight.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta (tagliatelle or fettuccine work great)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini, shiitake, or your favorite)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp truffle oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
  2. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Toss in the mushrooms and sauté until they’re golden brown and tender.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently, and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Add the gorgonzola and stir until melted into a smooth sauce.
  6. Splash in a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if it feels too thick.
  7. Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, coating every strand in that creamy goodness.
  8. Remove from heat, drizzle with truffle oil, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with parsley.
  9. Serve immediately, preferably with a glass of wine in hand.
