Ingredients

• 400 g linguini
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 300 g cremini mushrooms
• 200 ml heavy cream
• 50 g parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguini according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and thinly slice the cremini mushrooms. Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and golden.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and well combined. Add lemon juice and taste-test, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 7

Toss the cooked linguini into the skillet with the mushroom sauce, adding a tablespoon of reserved pasta water at a time if the sauce needs loosening. Make sure the pasta is evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle chopped parsley over the linguini and serve hot, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.
