Notes
To make this Garlic Mushroom Pasta gluten free, use certified gluten-free pasta in place of regular pasta.
Cook the gluten-free pasta according to package directions, as cooking times and texture can vary by brand.
Confirm that the Dijon mustard, broth, parmesan cheese, butter, and all seasonings are labeled gluten free.
If using white wine, verify that it is gluten free and free from added flavorings or gluten-containing ingredients.
Reserve a small amount of gluten-free pasta water before draining, as it will help loosen and bind the sauce.
