This dish seamlessly marries the delicate creaminess of Alfredo sauce with the earthy richness of sautéed mushrooms, offering a gastronomic journey that delights the taste buds and warms the soul.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225g) fettuccine pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces (225g) cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1:

  • Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package directions until al dente.
  • Drain and set aside.

Step 2:

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender.
  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 3:

  • Pour in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low.
  • Let the cream simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 4:

  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as desired.
  • Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta with the creamy mushroom sauce.
  • Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 5:

  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
  • Serve the creamy mushroom fettuccine Alfredo immediately while it’s still hot.

Notes

  • Select a variety of mushrooms: To enhance the flavor and texture of your creamy mushroom fettuccine Alfredo, consider using a mix of mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. Each type brings its unique taste and adds complexity to the dish.
  • Create a flavorful sauce: When preparing the Alfredo sauce, make sure to infuse it with aromatic ingredients like garlic, shallots, and fresh herbs. Incorporate quality Parmesan cheese and a touch of nutmeg for a rich and savory taste that complements the earthy mushrooms.
  • Cook pasta al dente: For the perfect texture, cook the fettuccine al dente to ensure it maintains a slight bite when combined with the creamy mushroom Alfredo sauce. Remember that the pasta will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the hot sauce, so it’s essential not to overcook it initially.
