Ingredients
- 8 ounces Pasta (fettuccine, spaghetti, or any pasta of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 12 ounces Mushrooms, sliced (cremini, button, or portobello)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Fresh Parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until mushrooms are browned and tender.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
- Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy goodness!
Notes
Make sure to cook the pasta until just al dente; it will continue cooking in the sauce. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
