Creamy Mushroom Pasta

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz fettuccine or spaghetti
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they’re tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
  4. Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well, then add the grated parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for that pop of color. Possibly a little extra parmesan on top for good measure!

And there you have it! A plate of creamy mushroom pasta that’s not just filling but also brings a zing to your taste buds. Perfect for yourself or to share with loved ones. Enjoy and let that love for food shine!
