Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente, reserving 1 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. Step 2: While pasta cooks, heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook without stirring for 3 minutes until golden brown on one side, then stir and cook another 5 minutes until tender and browned.
  3. Step 3: Add shallot and rosemary to mushrooms, cooking for 2 minutes until shallot is translucent and fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in white wine and simmer until reduced by half (about 3 minutes), scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  5. Step 5: Stir in heavy cream and cook for 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Add 1/2 cup reserved pasta water to create a silky sauce that coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Step 6: Toss drained pasta into sauce, adding more pasta water as needed until pasta is evenly coated. Stir in Parmesan until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
