A delightful one-pot creamy garlic mushroom pasta that combines rich flavors with minimal cleanup, perfect for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces tagliatelle or fettuccine
  • 8 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta. Set aside.
  2. Sauté the mushrooms: In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until they brown and release their moisture. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
  3. Add garlic: Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
  4. Make the sauce: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to develop flavor. Then reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, mixing until fully combined.
  5. Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked pasta into the pot with the sauce. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to reach your desired creaminess. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  6. Finish with cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  7. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, dish out the pasta into serving bowls, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a touch of color. Serve immediately.

Notes

For variations, consider adding grilled chicken or vegetables, and adjust spices to your taste. Ensure to use fresh ingredients for the best results.
