Ingredients

• 400 grams fettuccine pasta
• 150 grams pancetta
• 250 grams mushrooms (button or cremini)
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 250 milliliters heavy cream
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 to taste salt
• 1 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, slice the mushrooms thinly and finely chop the garlic. Cut the pancetta into small cubes.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. If the sauce appears too thick, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 8

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and toss again.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
