Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 8 oz pasta and cook until al dente, about 9-11 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.

  2. Step 2

    While pasta cooks, slice the 8 oz mushrooms and mince the 2 garlic cloves.

  3. Step 3

    In a large skillet, melt the 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until golden and browned, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Pour in the 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat. If too thick, add reserved pasta water a splash at a time.

  7. Step 7

    Season with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Garnish with the 2 tbsp chopped parsley and serve hot.
