Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccini
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 cup frozen peas (thawed)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 whole lemon (zested and juiced)
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccini according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.

Step 5

Stir in the thawed peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine, then let the mixture simmer gently for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Add the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 8

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Add the cooked fettuccini to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, stir in the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 10

Serve the pasta immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and extra Parmesan on the side.
