Pasta

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Water

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt once boiling.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    Add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions (usually 8-10 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  3. 3

    Drain the Pasta

    Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set aside.

Making the Mushroom Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

  2. 5

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Add sliced portobello mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Broth and Cream

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Then stir in the heavy cream, allowing it to thicken slightly for about 3 minutes.

  4. 7

    Combine with Pasta

    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach desired consistency.

  5. 8

    Finish the Dish

    Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
