Equipment

Ingredients

8 oz medium pasta shells
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1½ lbs cremini mushrooms thinly sliced
2 large shallots diced
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
3 cloves garlic minced
4 tsp fresh thyme chopped
2½ tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock
1½ tsp Dijon mustard
¾ cup sour cream
⅔ cup grated Parmesan
2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Cook pasta shells in boiling salted water according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and diced shallots; cook for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are golden brown and liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
Add minced garlic and fresh thyme; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute until lightly browned.
Gradually add beef stock and Dijon mustard, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes until sauce has thickened.
Stir in cooked pasta and sour cream; heat for 1-2 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese and let melt for 1 minute. Stir in fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Use fresh herbs for the best flavor; dried thyme can be substituted using 1/3 the amount

Avoid overheating after adding sour cream to prevent curdling

For vegetarian version, substitute vegetable stock for beef stock

Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version

Make-ahead tip: prepare through step 5, then reheat gently and continue with remaining steps

Baby bella or button mushrooms work well if cremini aren't available

Pasta can be substituted with egg noodles, penne, or rigatoni
