Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon salted butter
- 16 ounces mushrooms baby bella (cremini) or white (button) mushrooms
- 1 small yellow onion minced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅓ cup dry white wine optional
- 4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 10 ounces linguine pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream brought to room temperature
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Add the olive oil and melt the butter in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for about 8-10 minutes, until the mushrooms have released most of their water and it’s cooked off.
- Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and cook until fragrant, about one minute.
- Optional: Add a generous glug/splash (about ⅓ cup) of white wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to remove any bits stuck to it. Simmer rapidly until the wine has reduced by at least half. Skip this step if you prefer not to cook with alcohol.
- Add the chicken broth and increase the heat to high heat. Bring the broth to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to medium or medium-low.
- Add the pasta to the simmering broth, carefully moving it around to prevent it from sticking together. Cook the pasta according to the time indicated on the box for al dente pasta. Check frequently to prevent overcooking.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan until melted. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.
Notes
- This recipe tastes best fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
