1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

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

3. 3

   Stir in the speck and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it is heated through. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before mixing in the grated Parmesan cheese.

   Make the Sauce

   In a separate saucepan, combine the heavy cream and remaining Parmesan cheese over low heat. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

6. 6

   Cook the Fettuccine

   Cook the fresh fettuccine in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions, usually about 2-4 minutes. Drain and reserve some pasta water.

   Combine and Serve

   In a large bowl, combine the cooked fettuccine with the mushroom and speck filling, adding a little pasta water if needed to loosen the mixture.
