Ingredients
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0 to taste salt
- 0 to taste black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to deglaze the pan and enhance the flavor.
Step 6
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
Step 7
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Step 8
Toss the cooked angel hair pasta into the skillet, mixing it well with the creamy mushroom sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 9
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 10
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter for extra creaminess.
Step 11
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
