Ingredients

  1. Kosher salt
  2. 8 ounces linguine
  3. 3 tablespoons salted butter
  4. 4 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced thin
  5. 3 cloves garlic, sliced thin
  6. 3/4 cup cream
  7. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  8. 2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
  9. Fresh parsley leaves, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Add the linguine and cook for 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta. Set the pasta and pasta water aside.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook until the mushrooms have browned, about 3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt. Add the cream and Parmesan, then bring to a simmer. Add the pasta and the pasta water and toss together, allowing the sauce to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the black pepper and toss to distribute. Serve garnished with fresh parsley.

I made this and it was good. Too much black pepper for our taste. Recipe is a keeper. Next time I will add less black pepper.

This is an amazing dish. The mushrooms add that woodsy flavor and don’t be shy on the pepper! It makes the dish!

Quick, easy and delicious!  I added shallots with the mushrooms and garlic.  Then I topped the finished pasta with sauteed shrimp and crumbled bacon.  OMG!!  Will absolutely make again and again.

This is very delicious. My picky husband actually liked it. For those who aren’t mushroom fans, you really can’t taste them. I will definitely make this agai ln.

This recipe is amazing!  My husband and I made it for Valentine’s dinner and it was so delicious!  We stepped it up one level and made pasta from scratch – ooh la la!
