Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Fettuccine pasta
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh 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 aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and their liquid has mostly evaporated.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine with the mushrooms.
Add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until it has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve the Mushroom Alfredo immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
