Fettuccine, creamy king brown mushrooms, chives.
Ingredients:
400g Fettuccine
300g King brown mushrooms, sliced
150ml heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (optional)
Instructions:
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced king brown mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, then cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, allowing them to brown and release their moisture.
Prepare the Cream Sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir well, and allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly. If the sauce becomes too thick, incorporate a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Cook the Fettuccine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Combine the Pasta: Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta in the creamy mushroom sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve and Garnish: Plate the fettuccine, and garnish with freshly chopped chives. For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano if desired.
