Mushroom Pasta

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.

Step 2

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

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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

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.
