Ingredients

  • 8 ounces linguine or pasta of your choice
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 1/4 cup white wine I used Sauvignon Blanc
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided - 2 for mushrooms, 2 for sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic 4 cloves chopped or minced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Optional

  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil white or black

Instructions

  • While you are making the mushrooms and sauce, boil your pasta according to the package instructions and drain when finished. Note: Make sure you add salt to your pasta water. Lightly season the sliced mushrooms with salt and pepper.
  • In a large saute pan, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat, melt in 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the seasoned sliced mushrooms to the pan and saute for 8 - 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden. Transfer the sauteed mushrooms to a plate or a bowl and set aside. Tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Use the same pan to make the sauce, do not wipe it down. Add the wine to the pan to deglaze it, and simmer for about 1 minute. Add the last 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until butter is completely melted and garlic is fragrant, whisk to combine.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer and keep at a simmer for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low then add the parmesan cheese to the pan and whisk quickly to combine, just heating through. Stir in the cooked pasta and sauteed mushrooms. Optional: Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of truffle oil and stir in for extra flavor. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with extra cheese if you would like. Serve hot and enjoy!
