Ingredients

  • 12 oz pasta
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta. Cook it in salted water until al dente. Save 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  2. Brown the mushrooms. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in one layer and let them brown before stirring, about 6–8 minutes. Season with salt.
  3. Make the sauce. Add the garlic for 1 minute, then the cream. Simmer 3 minutes until slightly thickened, and stir in the parmesan.
  4. Toss. Add the pasta and enough pasta water to make it silky. Season with pepper.
