Ingredients

  • 1 serving uncooked pasta (⅔ cup / 75 g / 2.6 oz) (suggestion: whole wheat linguine)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz (230 g) white button mushroom, stems removed
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 oz) heavy cream
  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 oz) low-sodium chicken bone broth
  • Salt to taste
  • ¼ cup (30 g / 1.1 oz) grated parmesan cheese
  • Freshly-ground black pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a large pot, cook pasta in salted boiling water for 8–9 minutes or according to the package directions until al dente. Drain.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in minced garlic and let it cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Place mushrooms in the skillet, cup side up. Cook for 3–5 minutes or until mushrooms start shrinking, moving the mushrooms around with a spatula occasionally.
  4. 4
    Add white wine; continue cooking to let the wine and mushroom juice evaporate (about 3 minutes).
  5. 5
    Pour heavy cream and chicken bone broth into the skillet, and add a generous pinch of salt. Switch to medium heat and cook until the cooking liquid is slightly thickened, flipping the mushrooms a couple times.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms and gently stir until the cheese is melted. Taste and add more salt if desired.
  7. 7
    Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet. Combine well with the mushroom mixture, then transfer to a serving plate.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and garnish with chopped parsley. Add more grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
