Easy Homemade Creamy Alfredo with Mushrooms

This Mushroom Alfredo dish has got “comfort food” written all over it. It’s saucy, cozy, and totally worth the carbs.

I’ve had the most relaxing weekend and to be completely honest, I was a little disappointed when it came to an end. I wanted to keep that cozy feeling going at the start of the week. So I had an aha moment. Make a cozy meal.

I have a few favorite cozy dishes actually. Like this incredible beef chili, or my favorite one-pot beef stew. But on this particular day, I was craving something with a bit more carbs. Something I could slouch on the sofa with. It had to be mushroom alfredo. And I was so excited to make it for two reasons.

One, because I couldn’t wait to chow down on it, obviously. And two, because it’s actually so easy to make. And relaxing. I’m not sure exactly what it is about this recipe, but it’s one of those that reminds you that cooking is actually fun, and soothing.

Perhaps it’s making the roux; whisking your butter with your flour, and slowly incorporating your cream. Maybe it’s combining the sauce and the mushrooms and the pasta altogether at the end. Or, it’s all of those things. This recipe is just as fun to make as it is to eat.

This is a definite hit in our home. Everyone almost always goes for seconds. And those that might not be too crazy about mushrooms, absolutely don’t mind them in this dish. So if you’re looking for a comfort meal to get cozy with, you have to make this mushroom alfredo. It is absolutely worth it.

Here’s what you’ll need to put this delicious meal together:

• unsalted butter
• whipping cream or milk
• cream cheese
• parmesan cheese
• salt
• black pepper
• garlic powder
• mushrooms
• pasta
