Creamy Mushroom Pasta

While I’m not ready for the cooler temps, I am totally ready for some fall food! Particularly heartier pastas like the kinds I was chowing down on this time last year in Italy!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Delallo olive oil
  • 1 pound crimini mushrooms sliced
  • ¼ pound fresh shiitake mushrooms stemmed and sliced
  • ¼ pound fresh morel mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 ounces white wine
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces Delallo fettuccine pasta
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh chives
  • ¾ cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese divided

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper and cook until golden browned, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Stir the garlic into mushrooms and cook for 1 minute; pour in white wine and cook until wine is nearly evaporated. Mix chicken stock into mushroom mixture; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour the heavy cream into mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture starts to foam.
  • While the mushrooms are finishing cooking, fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the Delallo fettuccine and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain but do not rinse pasta; transfer to a large serving bowl and keep warm.
  • Stir thyme and chives into mushroom sauce and turn off heat; mix ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into sauce until cheese has melted.
  • Pour all the mushroom sauce and half the mushrooms over pasta, reserving about half the mushrooms in the skillet. Toss pasta in sauce until coated; top with remaining mushrooms and remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for garnish.

Notes

I highly recommend getting in the habit of saving some pasta water every time you cook. It's the perfect way to finish off any sauce you are serving.
