Baked Feta-Mushroom Pasta

This feta-mushroom pasta bake brings together the creamy tang of melted feta with the earthy, savory notes of cremini mushrooms. The convenience of pre-sliced cremini mushrooms makes this dish a timesaver, but you can easily switch things up by incorporating other varieties like oyster, shiitake or maitake mushrooms for added depth and complexity.

Mushroom Piccata Pasta

In this vegetarian rendition of chicken piccata, a medley of mixed mushrooms steps in as a substitute for chicken, maintaining the zesty caper-infused sauce. The combination of oyster, cremini and shiitake mushrooms adds the most flavor, though you can choose a single mushroom variety if you have a preference. Streamline your prep by opting for pre-sliced mushrooms, a timesaving hack for this flavorful dish.

Creamy Shrimp & Mushroom Pasta

Cashews are the base of this delicious shrimp pasta dish. Blending the nuts helps thicken the sauce and provides creaminess—no actual cream required! Straining the cashew mixture removes any unwanted large pieces. Chopped rosemary adds freshness to break through the creaminess of the dish.

Chicken, Mushroom & Ricotta Pasta

Ricotta cheese is the key to this easy pasta dish. Combined with Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and a little bit of pasta cooking water, it adds richness and texture that clings to the pasta and veggies perfectly. For the smoothest results, use freshly grated Parmesan—pre-grated cheese often contains cellulose that can prevent melting.
