Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine or vegetable broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden and most liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in wine or broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Toss with cooked pasta and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk and omit Parmesan or use a vegan alternative.
- This sauce also works well with whole wheat or gluten-free pasta.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
