ingredients
Steps
Cook the Pasta
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain, reserving a small amount of the pasta water.
Prepare Mushroom Base
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes), allowing their moisture to evaporate. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Make the Sauce
Stir in the Dijon mustard, then pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce gently simmer and thicken for about 3-5 minutes over low heat.
Combine and Serve
Add the drained pasta to the sauce and mix thoroughly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water. Finally, stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Extra Tips
► If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of chili flakes to the mushrooms.
► For an even creamier sauce, try using mascarpone instead of heavy cream.
► Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese when serving for an even richer flavor.
