Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms cremini, button, shiitake, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small shallot finely chopped
  • 12 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ cup white wine optional, but adds great flavor
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg optional, but really elevates the dish

Method
 

  1. Heat butter and oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high; cook mushrooms 6-8 minutes until golden brown and moisture evaporates, stirring infrequently to caramelize.
  2. Cook shallot 2 minutes until softened; add garlic and thyme and cook another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add optional wine; simmer 2 minutes to cook off alcohol.
  4. Add pasta and broth, keeping pasta mostly submerged; season with salt and pepper, boil, and reduce to a simmer.
  5. Cook 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until pasta is al dente and most liquid absorbed.
  6. Reduce heat to low; stir in cream, Parmesan, and optional nutmeg until creamy and cheese fully melted.
  7. Adjust seasoning; garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan and serve immediately.
