Ingredients

• 300 grams fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 300 grams button mushrooms, sliced
• 100 grams shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 liters water

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with 4 liters of water, add a generous amount of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Add the button mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and any released liquid has evaporated.

Step 5

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and evenly distributed, then add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

Step 7

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing it gently to coat the pasta in the mushroom sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a small amount of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately in bowls or on plates. Optionally, garnish with additional grated Parmesan and parsley for added flavor and presentation.
