Creamy Mushroom Fettuccine

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Fettuccine pasta Or any long pasta like linguine
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil Extra virgin
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 16 oz Baby bella mushrooms Cleaned and thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 cup Heavy cream Room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated
  • 1 tsp Fresh rosemary Finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley Chopped, for garnish
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper Freshly cracked

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbling.
  • Add the sliced baby bella mushrooms in an even layer. Let them cook completely undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes to develop a deep brown sear. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes until tender.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and chopped fresh rosemary to the skillet, stirring constantly for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  • Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety.
  • Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the noodles evenly. If the sauce is too thick, splash in 1 to 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
