Creamy Mushroom Pasta
This creamy mushroom pasta features al dente pasta coated in a velvety sauce made with sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and cream. It’s rich, savory, and packed with umami flavor, making it a dish that’s both comforting and indulgent.
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
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce. Heat through for a minute.
- Serve: Plate the pasta, garnishing with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired. Enjoy!
