Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 12 oz tagliatelle pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb (450g) cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
- Prepare the sauce: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Cook the mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
- Deglaze with wine (optional): If using, pour in the white wine and let it cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and the flavors to meld together.
- Make the creamy sauce: Add the heavy cream and vegetable broth to the skillet. Stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked tagliatelle to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Finish: Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve: Serve immediately, topped with extra parmesan if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, but it will be less creamy.
- If you want extra protein, you can add grilled chicken or crispy bacon to the dish.
- To make this dish vegan, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free alternative, and skip the parmesan.
