Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour into the melted butter a little at a time until a thick, smooth paste forms.
  3. Gradually whisk the room-temperature milk into the butter-flour paste until the mixture is silky smooth and completely free of lumps.
  4. Transfer the sauce to an electric frying pan or a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  5. Simmer the sauce on low heat, stirring frequently to prevent lumping or sticking.
  6. Add the onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, Mrs. Dash, and white pepper to the sauce, whisking well to combine.
  7. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and continue to simmer gently, allowing the flavors to meld.
  8. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions until tender but not overcooked.
  9. Drain the pasta in a colander.
  10. Place the drained spaghetti on a warmed serving platter.
  11. Pour the warm white mushroom sauce evenly over the pasta.
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs and serve immediately.
