Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces pasta of your choice fettuccine, spaghetti, or penne
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 ounces mushrooms sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work well)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Method
 

  1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they have released their moisture and are golden brown.
  4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce. Heat through for a minute.
  6. Serve: Plate the pasta, garnishing with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired. Enjoy!
