Garlic Butter Sauce

Mushroom Egg Cream Sauce

Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the spaghetti. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve a little pasta water.

Garlic Butter Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce

    In a large skillet, melt the 100g of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.

Mushroom Egg Cream Sauce

  1. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet used for the garlic butter, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened and browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the Egg Cream Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Return the skillet with the mushrooms to low heat and pour the egg cream mixture over the mushrooms. Stir gently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Combine and Serve

  1. 5

    Combine Everything

    Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. Toss to coat the spaghetti evenly. Then, add the mushroom egg cream sauce and mix gently to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
