Start with gathering your key ingredients for a serving of two:
- 200g spaghetti
- 200g fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 100ml pouring cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- Parsley for garnish (optional)
Steps:
1. Start boiling the pasta on one hob. Add salt to the water and cook the pasta until al dente, following the instructions on the pack.
-
While your pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and fry for a minute until fragrant.
-
Add the sliced mushrooms into the pan. Sauté until they’re cooked and nicely browned. This typically takes around 5-7 minutes. While the mushrooms are cooking, you can drain your pasta and set it aside, reserving some of the starchy pasta water for later use.
-
Reduce the heat and pour in the cream. Stir well, and let your sauce simmer until it thickens.
-
Toss in your cooked spaghetti. Stir until the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce.
-
If your dish seems a bit too thick, you can add the reserved pasta water bit by bit, until you reach your desired creaminess.
-
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss everything one last time.
-
Plate your delicious creamy mushroom pasta and garnish with fresh parsley.
And voila! You have your fantastic restaurant-grade Creamy Mushroom Pasta ready in your kitchen. This quick and easy dish is not just tasty, but also pleasing to the eye!
As an added tip, complement the creaminess of the dish with a glass of chilled white wine for an extra oomph!
