Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccine
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the onions are golden and caramelized.

Step 3

Push the onions to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining butter, then toss in the sliced mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they have released their moisture and are browned.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by half.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.

Step 8

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Encourage any skeptics to dig in—they’ll love it!
