  • Mushrooms: 250 grams, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms are ideal)
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
  • Heavy Cream: 1 cup
  • Vegetable or Chicken Broth: 1/2 cup

Instructions

Creating Creamy Mushroom Noodles is as straightforward as it is rewarding. Follow these steps to bring this dish to life:

  1. Prepare the Noodles:
    • Begin by boiling a pot of salted water.
    • Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
    • Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms:
    • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the sliced mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
    • Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce:
    • In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic.
    • Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Pour in the heavy cream and broth, stirring to combine.
    • Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Combine Ingredients:
    • Return the mushrooms to the skillet.
    • Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts into the sauce.
    • Season the mixture with salt and the freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Toss the Noodles:
    • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet.
    • Toss them gently in the creamy mushroom sauce until they are well coated.
    • If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the noodles for a fresh touch.
    • Serve immediately while hot.
