Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 ounces Portabella mushrooms
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the Alfredo sauce. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Clean and slice the portabella mushrooms into thin pieces. Add them to the skillet and sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden brown. Stir occasionally.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring constantly to ensure it melts smoothly into the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper.
If the sauce is too thick, use small amounts of the reserved pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.
Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
