Ingredients
  

Pasta & Sauce
  • 12 oz linguine or fettuccine
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine optional
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated, plus more for serving
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned and softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. If using, pour in the dry white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.
  3. Add vegetable broth, uncooked pasta, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  4. Remove from heat. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
  5. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese before serving hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can use a mix of mushrooms like shiitake and oyster. Don't overcook the pasta; it should be al dente for the best texture. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more vegetable broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
