Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Add a spoonful of salt to boiling water and cook pasta until slightly underdone. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare Sauce Base: Heat oil or butter in a pan. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until golden and fragrant.
- Add Mushrooms and Seasonings: Add washed and drained mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Stir and cook until mushrooms release their aroma.
- Add Celery and Pepper: Add chopped celery and pepper to the mixture, sauté together to combine flavors.
- Thicken Sauce: Add a big spoon of flour to the pan to create a thick consistency. Stir well.
- Add Milk and Pasta Water: Pour in a cup of milk and some pasta water to collect all the spices and form the sauce. Stir continuously to avoid lumps.
- Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the undercooked pasta to the sauce and mix well so the pasta absorbs the flavors.
- Finish with Cream and Dill: Add a little cream if available for richness. Stir in chopped dill leaves for a fresh, aromatic finish. Season with black pepper.
- Serve: Scoop the creamy mushroom and shrimp pasta onto plates and serve hot.
