Ingredients

• 12 oz dried fettuccine or linguine pasta
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
• 4 oz shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
• 4 oz oyster mushrooms, cleaned and torn into bite-sized pieces
• 1 shallot, finely minced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 oz Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 1 tsp lemon zest

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 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and foamy.

Step 3

Add the cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and their liquid has evaporated. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Add the minced shallot and garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine. Stir and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by about half.

Step 6

Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, thyme leaves, and lemon zest. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce.

Step 8

If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 9

Taste the pasta and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle with extra Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
