A rich and flavorful vegetarian pasta dish featuring tender mushrooms in a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g pasta (fettuccine or spaghetti)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 300g mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp thyme (fresh or dried)
  • 200ml heavy cream
  • 50g grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and tender.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes to slightly thicken.
  6. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
  7. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use a mix of mushroom varieties for extra flavor depth.
  • Add a splash of pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
  • Can be made with plant-based cream and cheese for a vegan version.
