Ingredients

number of servings
4
  • 400 gms pasta of your choice, I usually opt for penne because it absorbs the sauce beautifully Added to
  • 250 gms of fresh mushrooms, sliced. I love Portobello for its rich flavor but white mushrooms work just fine Added to
  • 1 Cup of heavy cream Added to
  • 2 tbls of olive oil Added to
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced Added to
  • Salt & pepper to taste Added to
  • 14 Cup of grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping Added to
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish Added to

Directions

25 min.
1. Step

Cook the pasta according to the packet instruction until al dente. But slightly undercook it, as it'll finish cooking in the sauce. Drain it and save 1/4 cup of the pasta water.

2. Step

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms to the heated oil. Cooking tip: Don't move the mushrooms around too much as the sear gives a lovely caramelization that intensifies the flavor.

3. Step

Once seared, stir in minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until the garlic is aromatic and mushrooms are tender – usually about 5-7 minutes.

4. Step

Lower the heat, add heavy cream and the 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the skillet and stir until well combined.

5. Step

Stir the cooked pasta into the creamy mushroom sauce, ensuring all the pasta is well coated. If necessary, add a little more of the pasta water to loosen the sauce.

6. Step

Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until it's totally blended with the pasta - it makes the pasta glossier, creamier, and more delicious.

7. Step

Serve with a generous sprinkle of extra Parmesan and chopped parsley. The fresh herb’s earthy and slightly peppery flavor balances out the creamy pasta.
