Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccine
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 12 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp 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 fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and their moisture has evaporated.

Step 5

If using, pour in the white wine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it has melted into the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Toss the cooked fettuccine into the skillet with the sauce, ensuring the pasta is fully coated.

Step 10

Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
