Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g linguini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 300 g cremini mushrooms
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 50 g parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguini according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Mince the garlic and thinly slice the cremini mushrooms. Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are softened and golden.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and well combined. Add lemon juice and taste-test, adjusting seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
Toss the cooked linguini into the skillet with the mushroom sauce, adding a tablespoon of reserved pasta water at a time if the sauce needs loosening. Make sure the pasta is evenly coated.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the linguini and serve hot, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.
