Marinated Fresh Mushroom Pasta with Feta is fresh mushrooms, marinated to perfection, soaking up all the delicious flavors of garlic, herbs and home grown chili peppers! Marinated Fresh Mushrooms are amazing all by themselves. But… imagine tender mushrooms soaked in a savory marinade, tossed with al dente pasta and creamy, feta cheese. Each bite a perfect combination of earthy and tangy. It’s super simple to make and perfect for a Shabbat side dish, kiddush, Seudat Shelishit, or a weeknight Nine Days dinner that everyone will love! I know my mushroom loving family does!
Marinated Fresh Mushroom Pasta with Feta
In our house everyone loves mushrooms (except for Dear Son-In-Law…we love him anyway) since the dawn of time. I’ve been writing about mushrooms since I started koshereveryday.com – which is more than thirteen years ago. That’s a lot of mushrooms.
Way way back many centuries ago, not long after the Bible began (it was 2012), I wrote a post called Warm Marinated Fresh Mushrooms with Feta & Whole Wheat Pasta. The recipe was ported from the Blogger platform to the one I’m currently using, and was based upon a marinated mushroom salad that our synagogue used to order. I’ve updated the recipe to make it gluten-free (optional) and plant based (optional) and now am calling it Marinated Fresh Mushroom Pasta with Feta. It’s still as delicious as the first time I made it (when I was a toddler 😛 ).
All about Marinated Fresh Mushroom Pasta with Feta
I developed the original recipe with the Nine Days in mind, when it’s customary to eat only dairy/pareve foods except for Shabbat. At the time we were having one of my son’s friends come visit after his completing his Israeli army service. My Mother (z”l) was alive back then as well, and the old post really brings back a lot of memories. Even back then we loved having friends and young professionals at our Shabbat table. Here was the last paragraph of the old post. It really warmed my heart.
“Well, at the end of our Shabbat meal my Mom (KIH) gave one of her famous comments “Wow Sharon, you must have made enough food for an army!” I turned to her and smiled. “You know Mom…why don’t we ask Tal! So Tal…you just got out of the army – was there really enough food for an entire army??” Tal laughed and said “Well, maybe not an entire army…but maybe a small base!” We love you Tal, and you are always welcome here! Maybe we’ll even come visit you in Israel!!!”
The OG Warm Marinated Fresh Mushrooms. These were the original ones from 2012. I make them exactly the same now except I use garlic oil instead of fresh garlic, because fresh garlic hates me.
Making Marinated Fresh Mushroom Pasta with Feta
I started the updated version of the recipe with essentially the exact same ingredients with two modifications.

Garlic Hates Me
Frequent readers of Kosher Everyday know that I have a “few” GI issues. I’ve learned over time that there are certain foods that just don’t agree with me, no matter how much I’ve tried to change their minds 😉 .
One of those foods is garlic – in any form. I’ve got an amazing workaround that I use, substituting the oil in recipes that use garlic with garlic infused oil. The garlic infused oil gives a LOT of garlic flavor without the problems that garlic causes.
I substitute garlic infused oil for fresh garlic.
It’s now gluten free (optional)
Way back in 2012 I wasn’t a GFE (Gluten Free Eater), that’s a story for another time. While the Marinated Fresh Mushrooms were gluten free, the pasta wasn’t. For this recipe I used the Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Quinoa Spaghetti Pasta, and it worked very well. I ended up making the pasta in advance, so I warmed it in a little garlic oil before adding it to the Marinated Fresh Mushrooms.

And Plant Based Optional
Ok…so this was an easy one. There are a bunch of plant based feta’s on the market. I happen to be a big fan of Follow Your Heart Dairy-Free Feta Crumbles and the Violife Just Like Feta Block. Something to keep in mind is that the Follow Your Heart is only 6 ounces (already crumbled) but the Violife is 8.1 (not crumbled). There isn’t any hard and fast rule as to how much feta you’re going to use, so it’s really personal preference.
This is the Violife plant based feta. Because I crumbled it the pieces aren’t quite as uniform. Oh well…
Here’s the Recipe for Marinated Fresh Mushroom Pasta with Feta
What’s especially great about this recipe is that you can serve the Marinated Fresh Mushrooms independently as a side dish. I’ve done it many times. They’re also great as a “salad” for a Shabbat kiddush or Seudat Shelishit (3rd meal). I love to just nosh on them any time.
Marinated Fresh Mushrooms are incredibly delicious on their own!
You can also make them glutenous if you like, and using dairy feta is incredibly delicious. As I always say: You are the executive chef in your kitchen. The choices are completely up to you!

The Marinated Fresh Mushrooms are great on their own! You can serve them independent of the pasta and/or feta if you like.
You can use plant based or dairy feta.
This will store for up to four days in the refrigerator. The longer you keep the mushrooms marinating the richer the flavors will be.
I prefer the taste of the Marinated Fresh Mushrooms with the garlic oil rather than the fresh garlic. I found the flavor to be a little less garlicy “biting”.
