Creamy Mushroom Pasta

A slippery tangle of pasta bathed in a creamy parmesan sauce loaded with buttery garlic mushrooms, simple, quick, and utterly luxurious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g pasta (such as fettuccine or tagliatelle)
  • 300g mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until golden and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add remaining butter and stir until melted and sauce is creamy.
  9. Toss cooked pasta into the sauce, coating evenly.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Use a generous amount of mushrooms for maximum flavor and texture. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances the creaminess and depth of the sauce. Serve immediately to enjoy the sauce at its best consistency.
