Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces angel hair pasta
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to deglaze the pan and enhance the flavor.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Toss the cooked angel hair pasta into the skillet, mixing it well with the creamy mushroom sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter for extra creaminess.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
