Creamy Mushroom Pasta
Description
This Creamy Mushroom Pasta begins by cooking sliced mushrooms with butter, olive oil, minced garlic, freshly chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and optional hot pepper flakes. The mushrooms are cooked over low to medium heat with water added and covered to become tender while preserving their flavor and texture.
Concurrently, fettuccine pasta is boiled until al dente. Once the mushrooms are ready, heavy cream, all-purpose flour, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese are added to the pan, stirring until the sauce thickens to a smooth consistency—not too thick. The cooked pasta and some reserved pasta water are then added and tossed over high heat briefly to blend the sauce and pasta evenly.
The resulting dish features a creamy, savory sauce coating the noodles, punctuated by tender, flavorful mushrooms and herb notes from parsley and oregano. Parmesan adds a bright, salty finish, while the optional pepper flakes introduce a subtle warmth. It is served immediately with additional Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
