Ingredients

  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 12 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp chopped parsley
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ¾ cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 ½ tsp salt, divided
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling water with 1 tsp salt, until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, drain, and keep warm.
  • Make the sauce while the pasta is cooking. Melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes on each side. Add the garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
  • Pour in the wine, deglaze the pan, and simmer until reduced by half.
  • Mix in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly. Check the seasoning and add ½ tsp of salt if needed, and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated with the sauce. If you feel the sauce is too thick, add some of the pasta cooking water a tbsp at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
