Ingredients

• 12 oz Fettuccini pasta
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 10 oz Fresh mushrooms (cremini, button, or shiitake), sliced
• 0.25 cup White wine (optional)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, and set it aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and any released liquid has evaporated.

Step 5

If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing most of the liquid to cook off.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Toss the cooked fettuccini into the skillet with the sauce. If needed, use the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the pasta and give everything a final toss to combine.

Step 10

Serve immediately with additional grated Parmesan cheese on the side, if desired.
