Ingredients
8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
8 oz dry fettuccine (or other pasta)
2.5 cups vegetable broth
1/3 cup heavy cream (or milk + 1 tbsp cream cheese)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Mince garlic and slice mushrooms.
2. In a deep skillet, sauté garlic in butter over medium heat for 1 minute.
3. Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook until softened and edges brown.
4. Add pasta and broth to the pan. Stir to combine.
5. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer.
6. Cook covered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
7. Stir in cream, then remove from heat and add Parmesan.
8. Mix until cheese melts and sauce thickens. Taste and adjust seasoning.
9. Serve immediately with extra pepper or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Substitute mushrooms based on availability—white button, shiitake, or portobello all work.
- To make it lighter, use low-fat milk and skip the Parmesan.
- Best eaten fresh. If reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
