One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté 5-7 minutes until browned.
- Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Lower heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat. Add reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired sauce consistency.
- Sprinkle parsley over the pasta and serve immediately.
A little kitchen know-how
Reserve some pasta water before draining to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
Storage & leftovers
Refrigerate leftovers in a sealed container up to 3 days. Reheat gently on low heat with a splash of cream or milk to loosen sauce.
