Ingredients

• 300 g linguine pasta
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4 garlic cloves
• 400 g cremini mushrooms
• 200 ml heavy cream
• 60 g Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the mushrooms by wiping them clean with a damp paper towel and slicing them thinly. Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to turn golden brown.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Allow the sauce to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy mushroom sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately while warm.
