instructions
    1

    Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.

    2

    While the pasta cooks, clean and slice the mushrooms evenly. Mince the garlic as well.

    3

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.

    4

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    5

    Once the mushrooms are cooked, pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

    6

    Add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until it melts and incorporates into the sauce.

    7

    Drain the fettuccine and add it directly to the skillet with the mushroom cream sauce. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is well-coated in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

    8

    Finish with fresh parsley on top before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein.
  • Incorporate spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Swap out the fettuccine for a different pasta shape like penne or farfalle.
Important Tips
  • Make sure to reserve some pasta water before draining; you can add it to the sauce if it’s too thick.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
  • Do not overcook the mushrooms; they should be tender but not mushy.
