We like that rigatoni is easy to pick up with a fork and makes a good carrier for the rich sauce, as well as all those tasty mushrooms. Also, be sure to season your pasta water with plenty of salt so that it is nice and flavorful. You can use any mushrooms available to you for this recipe.
This better-for-you version of rigatoni combines tender pasta with a creamy, but light garlic sauce (made using coconut milk) and a fresh medley of mushrooms. This vegetarian stovetop meal is a lighter version in comparison to pasta made with heavy cream.
Melt butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper, and thyme; cook and stir until combined, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Reduce heat to a low simmer and pour in sherry.
