Mushroom scampi is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The dish is made with mushrooms, garlic, butter, white wine, and lemon juice, and it is served over pasta. It is a great vegetarian alternative to the classic shrimp scampi.

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 25 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 shallot, thinly sliced

1½ pounds cremini or button mushrooms, halved, quartered if large

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

½ cup dry white wine

½ cup vegetable stock or water

1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)

¼ teaspoon red-pepper flakes, or more to taste

Black pepper

½ cup parsley leaves (tightly packed), roughly chopped

3 to 4 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)

Pasta, noodles or crusty bread, to serve

Directions

1Heat a large 12-inch skillet over medium. Melt the butter and oil, then add the shallot, stirring until softened slightly, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are soft but still plump, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and toss until fragrant, 15 to 20 seconds.

2Add the wine, vegetable stock, salt, red-pepper flakes, a few pinches of black pepper and half the parsley. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine has reduced by half and thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.

3Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Taste and season with salt, if desired.

4To serve, top with remaining parsley and eat with pasta, noodles or crusty bread.
