Instructions
Prepare the Mushroom Sauce
- Melt butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Add the sliced portobello mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Season generously with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the double cream and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Combine and Serve
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the creamy mushroom sauce.
- Serve immediately in warm bowls, topped with toasted pine nuts and grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Creamy Mushroom Pasta
- For a deeper mushroom flavor, use a mix of mushroom varieties such as cremini and shiitake in addition to portobello.
- Toasting the pine nuts before adding them to the pasta enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch.
- Don't overcook the pasta; it should be al dente (slightly firm to the bite).
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
