Ingredients
- 300 grams pasta of your choice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 300 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 250 milliliters heavy cream
- 60 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low, and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and continue simmering until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 7
Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Step 8
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, and toss gently to coat in the creamy mushroom sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 9
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
