Ingredients

• 200g fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 300g mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned – about 8 minutes.
4. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring to combine with the sautéed mushrooms and onions. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
5. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, ensuring it melts smoothly into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top before serving.

Helpful Tips

• For added protein, consider stirring in some cooked chicken or shrimp.
• If you prefer a lighter sauce, substitute half of the heavy cream with milk.
• Feel free to mix in other vegetables, such as spinach or bell peppers, for added flavor and nutrition.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover fettuccine in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk to keep the sauce creamy.

Pairings

This Creamy Mushroom Fettuccine pairs beautifully with a simple green salad and crusty garlic bread. A glass of sparkling water or a citrusy lemonade would complement the richness of the pasta wonderfully.
