Creamy mushroom pasta is one of the most popular types of pasta in Italian cuisine and is a must-try for every food enthusiast out there. As you continue to make it over time, give it a little whirl of your own. Are you already drooling? We are too! Let's dig into the recipe for a flavoursome supper.

What All You Need?

•  1 tbsp butter
•  2-3 tbsp olive oil
•  1 garlic clove, finely grated
•  1 onion, finely chopped
•  250 g button chestnut mushrooms, sliced
•  300 g tagliatelle or linguini
•  200 g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated, plus extra to serve
•  100 ml dry white wine
•  Zest of 1 lemon
•  200 ml double cream
•  ½ small bunch parsley, finely chopped
•  Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make?

• Heat oil and butter in a pan. Add chopped onions and fry on low heat for about 10 minutes or until softened and translucent.
• Add chopped mushrooms and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook further.
•  Add wine and bring it to a boil. Then, cook it on a low flame until the liquid is reduced by half.
• Now, add cream and bring to a boil. Add lemon zest and grated parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
• On the side, boil the pasta in salted water. You can add a little oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
•  Do remember to take out about 100 ml of the water in which pasta is cooked.
•  Add boiled pasta to the creamy mushrooms and enough pasta water to loosen up the creamy mix.
•  Serve on a plate and garnish with chopped parsley.
•  Voila! Enjoy it warm with a wine of your choice.

Tips & Tricks

• While parmesan cheese lends a delightful richness and depth to the sauce, feel free to experiment with other cheeses to find your perfect flavour profile.
•  If you want to make the pasta heart-healthy, you can use yoghurt instead of heavy cream.
• You can try brown mushrooms or even Portobello mushrooms instead of white mushrooms in this recipe.
