  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 500 g tagliatelle pasta (cooked according to package instructions)

Mushroom Sauce

  • 250 g brown mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 shallot, finely diced
  • 3 tbsp white wine (optional)
  • 300 ml single cream (heavy cream in North America)
  • 25 g parmesan cheese, grated (plus extra for serving)
  • 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, juice only
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cooking the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Before draining, reserve one cup of the pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. Browning the Mushrooms: While the pasta cooks, wash and slice the mushrooms. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sliced mushrooms and thyme leaves. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced shallot and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until softened. If using, pour in the white wine and let it reduce slightly.
  3. Making the Cream Sauce: Pour the single cream into the pan with the mushrooms and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to thicken, stirring occasionally. If needed, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach desired sauce consistency. Whisk in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten flavors.
  4. Combining Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked tagliatelle to the pan with the cream sauce and mushrooms. Toss everything together gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
  5. Serving: Divide the creamy mushroom tagliatelle between serving bowls. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra grated parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, ideally alongside a fresh salad and crusty bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Reserve pasta cooking water to adjust sauce consistency perfectly.
  • White wine is optional but adds a lovely depth of flavor to the sauce.
  • For a lighter version, substitute single cream with half-and-half or a lower-fat cream alternative.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley just before serving to maintain its bright color and flavor.
