Ingredients

• 12 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 cups portabella mushrooms (sliced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced portabella mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan with white wine (if using) and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and remaining butter, cooking for another 2 minutes to create a creamy sauce.

Step 7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Step 8

Mix in the grated parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper, tossing until the cheese has melted and the flavors are combined.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil for added richness, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with additional parmesan cheese and parsley if preferred.
