Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz tagliatelle pasta
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 8 oz baby bella/cremini mushrooms
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup mascarpone cheese room temperature
- ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, salt the water and cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water.
- Meanwhile, warm a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the olive oil is warmed through, add the mushrooms and sauté for about 5-10 minutes until deep and rich in color.
- Add the garlic to the skillet with the sautéd mushrooms. Sauté for 2 minutes until very fragrant.
- To the same skillet add the heavy cream and mascarpone cheese. Stir gently until homogeneous and silky.
- Stir in the freshly grated parmesan cheese until combined and let it all simmer together until slightly thickened and it coats the back of a spoon, 3 minutes.
- Once thickened, add the fresh parsley and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and ½ cup reserved pasta water. Mix together to combine and add more pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce to your preference.
