Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 12 oz 340 g fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 12 oz 340 g mushrooms (cremini, baby bella, or button), sliced
  • 1 ½ cups 360 ml heavy cream
  • 1 cup 100 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp salt adjust to taste
  • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Instructions
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes until golden and caramelized.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss until coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Notes
For added protein, top with grilled chicken, shrimp, or crispy bacon.
To lighten it up, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
For a gourmet twist, drizzle with truffle oil before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.
